At this time of year, many of us need to tighten our belts, perhaps more so than ever given all that is going on in the world just now. So why not save some quilting pounds by resolving to reduce your stash?
Scrap quilts are the ideal thrifty project and are a wonderful way to use up oddments left over from previous makes, as well as for cutting into larger pieces you doubtless have squirrelled away. They are also an excellent home for ‘ugly’ fabrics and ones you’ve had tucked away for so long that you now wonder why on earth you bought them in the first place. In among a melee of prints, you’ll never spot the ‘offensive’ ones. So, dig deep and get sewing! To get you started, we’ve provided some handy tips (see panel, page 49).
