Are you overwhelmed by scraps, either physically because you are drowning in them or mentally because the idea of a fully scrappy quilt scares you? The key to scrap containment is consistency, and Beth will show you how to make the most of any pattern by augmenting it with JUST ENOUGH scraps to give it wow without going over the edge into craziness. Lots of thoughts on what makes a good scrap quilt, why scrap quilts are Beth’s favorites, and insights into how one idea can morph into so many more during the design process. You'll never look at a quilt pattern just one way again! Supplies are not required for a lecture, although you may want to bring a pen and paper to take notes.

Using a variety of fabrics in various tones and values, all workshop participants will rework the same block using different directions on color, value, contrast, and fabric placement to discover how changing up these elements can transform the entire look of a block. All fabrics are brought to the workshop and put into a fabric pool. In the end, you’ll be amazed how small changes can create a major impact to a block or a quilt.
