Click to visit Scrappy Patches Quilt Shop! What quilting type do you enjoy most? Do you keep pictures of the quilts you make? If not, I encourage you to start right away. They bring such joy to others and I try to get a picture before I use one or give it away. Lots of memories in each one I have created. What is you favorite style? Cathedral Windows - several different techniques to make this classic design. Rag Quilts - raw edges are easy to create a fun quilt. These seem to work best with flannels, or Homespun fabrics T-Shirt/Memory Quilts - transform old t-shirts of sports, schools, etc. into a quilt of ole favorite T's. Children's clothing, old clothes, tablecloths can be used for memory quilts. Panels - use a stunning panel and play with coordinating or your pick to build the panel into the size quilt for you! Crazy quilts - use up your scraps of every kind; flannel, silk, cotton as random as possible. Delightful to try at least once. Art Quilt - many use a photograph or picture and cut pieces of fabric to "paint" a piece of art. Scrappy Quilt - Nine patches to use scraps, simple Irish Chain is a great way to test your ability to practice "random" simple piecing. Charm Quilt - scrap quilt, create a lovely quilt but only use each fabric ONCE! So, what is your favorite? Pick a quilt you haven't tried and let us help you. If you try a different quilt, send us a picture or bring in your creation to show us! Any questions about any type of quilt, we are here to help you, I suggest you try something different - keep that brain active.
All smiles! Back Room, sale!
