DK Quilt Guild: Scrap Quilt Strategies

I've been making what I call scrap quilts for as long as I've been making quilts, and that's more than 40 years now. We commonly think of scrap quilts as those made out of the leftovers from making clothes, or from the good parts of worn out clothing, and that's what scrap quilts used to be. Most of today's scrap quilts have less humble origins, since many of today's quilters don't make clothing, and most of the clothing that wears out is of fabric not suitable for quilts.
