Kansas Troubles
Lecture: Confessions of a ScrapManiac

Slide lecture with trunk show of scrap quilts

We all have scrap bags, or boxes, or barrels full of bits and pieces. But what are we doing with these fabrics? You'll see how I purchase fabrics, prepare my scraps so they are ready to use when I want to make a scrap quilt, and choose good designs. We'll also explore the elements of a good scrap quilt and some of the things to avoid.
