We all have scraps piling up and sewing them together to create a background adds interest to your quilt or other small project as well as a great way to use up that never ending pile of scraps!
Not only can you use this scrap sewing method as a background for applique, but by using darker fabrics and prints, you can create a unique quilt all by itself. My tester Maria did just that and will be turning her scrappy creation into cushions.

thanks Daryl,these are cute and a great way to use up all those scraps. i love how even though its scrappy you can still have a "theme" to your color or print choices. Maria did a nice job of using floral fabrics and yours are also a lovely selection of calming colors which would really make an applique pop.

It's amazing how quickly the scraps pile up. A great project to dive into that pile.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use up scraps Daryl and make beautiful fabric at the same time!
ReplyDeleteWonderful way to use up scraps and create a usable piece of fabric.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I think this is what Rutigt was talking about giving her the idea for the applique on pieced backgrounds. Looks like fun, and I did go to Craftsy. So nice of you to share it for free. Now I have to find that folder post I saw.
