10 Ways to Use Up Your Fabric Scraps – Easy Projects

SCRAPS – yes we all have them. In fact it’s a given that if you are a quilter you are quickly going to build up a scrap stash. I don’t know about you but we aren’t like those brave souls who can just toss their fabric scraps in the bin. We keep every tiny little scrap because you never know when you might just need that teeny tiny piece of fabric to fill in a spot. So we have a number of easy projects with full tutorials that will help you to clear up at least some of that scrap stash. One of my favourites is the String Quilt (see below). I love making these.

And although title says there are 10 Projects, we’ve thrown in a bonus for you.

1. The Crumb Quilting Technique (Not just for quilting)

I just love this technique. You don’t have to even think about it too much. You basically create your own fabric from scraps and can use it in a variety of applications – quilting, bag making, sewing projects, cushions and more.

This technique is great for using up those really small pieces of fabric. You basically get together all of your fabric scraps and sew them together to form one larger piece of fabric. Go to step-by-step tutorial...
