I love scrap quilts (see my Color Blocks patterns/classes as proof). I save 1 1/2" squares, 1 1/2" strips, 2 1/2" squares, and fat eighths. Many of these scrappy quilt ideas could use some of my preferred scrap sizes while others use strings and crumbs and other sizes of scraps I fight hard to NOT save.
The quilted jacket pattern in the book drew me in immediately and it's now added to my list of "quilted jackets I hope to make." That list gets longer and longer and yet.... no jackets have been made. Weird how that happens.

Teri is very much NOT a scrap quilter, so it was interesting to see her thoughts on this delightfully inspiring book.
After watching this conversation, come back and answer my question (below) to enter to win an e-copy of the book!
Question: What is the smallest size of scrap fabric you save?

I save 1 inch strips and 2 inch scraps. Loved the interview and enjoy your scrap quilts. I have made your patterns.
ReplyDeleteI press like you, hot and steamy. What did you call it, something about hot side of the sun.
I usually save 1 1/2" pieces and larger, but I do have a bin with 1" strips as well.
ReplyDeleteMy scraps tend to be in larger pieces, sorted by color family, until I have a project for them in mind. I do save strips-which are overflowing! And I save selvages for a special project I want to make. Anything smaller than 1” is tossed.
ReplyDeleteUgh! I am currently saving almost all scraps - lots of strings, but also tiny pieces can be pieced together to make larger strings that go into string quilts, the smaller pieces make them even more interesting! But I am getting overwhelmed with the scraps - small pieces take even longer to make into quilts! And they do tend to multiply when you're not looking.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun interview! I save pieces as small as 1", sorted by color, because I applique.
