An easy way to get started with making scrap quilts, is what I call a controlled scrap quilt. Pull all your left over fabric in ONE color family, no regard to if they match or go together, and use ONE background fabric. Might be called a two color quilt.
I taught my nieces to quilt with a cut out scrap quilt projects that I had. Don't think they were to sure how all those fabrics would look together :lol: When finished they loved them, kept saying never thought all those fabrics went together or would look nice.
