When I first started paper piecing and had very little stash, an amazing woman named Clare gave me a huge box of scrap fabrics. They were the kind of things many quilters would throw away as being too small to be useful.
It was a real gift to me.
A great deal of my first Harry Potter quilt was made out of fabrics from Clare’s generosity…

The long and the short of this Fabric Friday? Never underestimate the gift of scraps! I share them whenever I can, and gladly accept them from friends that would like to clean theirs out. And, of course, I always have my Treasure Chest to dive into whenever I need a tiny piece of just the right fabric!

I just love Scraps… I have made lots of stuff with scraps…
It is a paradise. I would never think to buy some of these fabrics, but as scraps… there is a multitude of stuff to do.
