Virtual Workshop Description
Scrap quilting is a wonderful way to express your own personal sense of style and color preferences. We will be using scraps of fabrics you chose for no other reason than you have the fabric. These scraps will be from leftovers of quilts you have already made, fabric you bought because it was Wonderful! On Sale! Appealing for whatever reason! And maybe from gift fabric others gave to you that you have no clue what to do with. Add in some scraps you gather from friends and you will have gathered AND USE fabrics that reflect you more than any planned quilt would do.
