These scrap busting fabric quilt patterns are the perfect solution to using up scraps of fabric or fat quarters.
If you are a scrap hoarder, like me and have made a few quilts in the last year then you probably have a decent collection of assorted colors and prints in your fabric stash. I have head of quilters who have more scrap fabric than quilting fabric, hoping one day they will find a use for it. Are quilters hoarders? Do you stockpile scraps of quilting fabric?
What do you define as a piece of “Scrap” fabric? Is it 30x30cm or smaller? larger? how small do you save? Anything under 5x5cm for me is trashed in the bin for me, If it’s too small to make a decent square then I assume its only use is for the bin.
Some of these scrap quilts require larger pieces than others, but they are all so inspiring that I suggest you go ahead and take a look at them all. All of these quilt blocks or pattern tutorials are free ( at the time of writing this post).
Fabric scraps don’t have to be used for “other quilted items” . As long as you have a big enough stash of scraps you can go ahead and make a whole quilt or at the very least a baby quilt.
Are you looking for a way to use up the scraps of fabric from your quilting stash? If so, you’re in luck! There are a variety of fun and creative quilting projects that can be made with scraps of fabric. Not only will you enjoy the satisfaction of using up all those fabric scraps, but you’ll also be able to create beautiful quilts and other projects that are as unique as your fabric stash!
For starters, try making a patchwork quilt with your scraps. You can make a traditional quilt or one with a modern twist; there are endless possibilities! You can use solids, prints, or a combination of both. To make it easier, try sorting your scraps into color groups and then arranging them into a pattern. The patchwork quilt can be made in any size and with any type of fabric, so you can create a quilt that is truly unique.
If you want to get a bit more creative with your fabric scraps, try making a t-shirt quilt or a rag quilt. A t-shirt quilt is perfect for preserving memories; all you need are t-shirts with meaningful images or designs, batting, and backing fabric. Sew the t-shirts together and quilt them with your scraps of fabric to give the quilt a unique look. Rag quilts are also a great way to use up fabric scraps; the quilt is made with squares of fabric that are sewn together and then frayed to create a “rag” effect.
Another fun quilting project that uses up fabric scraps is a scrap quilt. This type of quilt is made with randomly assorted scraps of fabric, which makes it a great way to use up small pieces of fabric. All you need to do is arrange the scraps in a pattern, sew them together, and add a backing fabric. The result is a truly unique quilt with a one-of-a-kind look.
Finally, you can use your fabric scraps to make a variety of smaller projects, such as pillows, table runners, placemats, and wall hangings. These are quick and easy projects that are perfect for using up those small scraps of fabric. So don’t let your fabric scraps go to waste; use them to create beautiful quilts and other projects that you can enjoy for years to come!
