Scrap Quilts & How To Make Them

by

I ran into this site some time ago. It’s a bit dated as I don’t think it’s been updated in a while, but it has very clear and very easy instructions for simple scrap patchwork quilts. I think my favorites are the Pioneer Braid and the cheater’s version of Cathedral Window.
Pioneer Braid is made on the same priciple as a Log Cabin, with ends trimmed off after a strip is completed. This give a braid like effect that is very attractive.
The cheater Cathedral Window should allow for the quilt to be stuffed as you go if each circular piece is hemmed before being attached to the next.
Pictures will follow, it’s just too late tonight.
Anyway, check this out for clear instructions and for a couple fo quick ideas for reducing that stash!
