Introduction

Scrap Happy Quilting not only addresses the issue of your growing scrap collection, it gives you

11 fantastic designs that can be used for all fabrics. Put your scraps to work making beautiful quilted

projects, or buy current collections and use these great patterns. You’ll love all the options for using

scraps and small amounts of fabric with these versatile patterns that can be used again and again.

So pull out your fabrics and get quilting.

Each and every quilted project in this book can be made with smaller amounts of fabric.

There’s something for everyone in the way of sizes, styles and techniques. If you’re a traditional quilter,

we have several patterns that will appeal to you, and if you’re leaning toward the fast and easy, we

have that too. If you love hexagons but are still a beginner, you may want to check out Cherry Orchard.

It’s actually made with strips, not set-in seams. If you want hexagons the traditional way, well, we have

them also—see Hexagon Delight. There’s a wide variety to choose from.

With a little time and imagination you can make your scraps work in any of these patterns. Discover

the endless possibilities for using a variety of fabrics. Scraps are wonderful and so addicting once you

get started working with them.

Tip

Although some quilters prefer to remove excess

fabric from behind large appliqué pieces, the

extra layers will create a slight dimension,

especially with the interfacing method of

appliqué. Cutting out sections of the background

can also weaken the integrity of the quilt.
