SCRAP FABRIC

Bonnie Hunter is the most generous quilt designers ever! She shares her patterns and ideas freely. She has a great book about recycling and using scraps and a new book out, all about Leaders and Enders. If any quilt/designer deserves to have a quilt book being a top seller it's her. She has a great blog as well as one of the best quilting websites.

and, she is an easy read ... her patterns on her website are always accompanied with pictures for each step, so the newest among us can be accomplished is just a short while!

I believe that the concept of a scrappy quilt goes hand in hand with the patchwork style of quilting. You chose more of a whole cloth style for your beginner quilts, which is just a different method.
Just wait, we'll have you cutting up fabric and putting it back together soon. I was looking at your colors, and they would all go great together in a scrappy style.

I make tied comforters with doubled crochet thread in a large eyed needle - used for doll making - I go through from top to bottom at least two times - about every three - four inches - when I get to the end of the thread I go back and cut the thread in between and tie in a double knot. I have given these away and not heard of any of them coming undone.
