I know that scrap quilts are made from scraps (sometimes I amaze myself ;) , but do you put certain colors in certain areas?
I have seen some scrap quilts that I really love, and the colors don't seem quite right on others.
Need advice and direction.
I just made a scrap quilt, my first, from 4" squares I have been collecting. I came up with a little trick so I had more of a variation. I did the strip piecing method, sewed 2 together, one print, one more solid or contrast, chained pieced 2 more the same way. Then when I had a bunch I cut them apart so I had pairs. Next I chain pieced a pair to a pair making a 4-patch so the solids or contrast were opposite each other. Then I put 2 4 patches together, and so on till I had a 2 row strip the desired length. Then I put pairs of rows together. I found I had more control of my colors this way. Let me see if I have a pic of it.
