Make this September Scrappy as can be with 6 Quilt Patterns for FQS Scrappy September!

This Scrappy September, we want you to raid your fabric stash and sew up something beautiful with all that’s left from your other projects. We quilters end up with lots of leftover fabrics, and that inspired us to get scrappy with our September sewing! This September, why not make a new quilt entirely from scraps?

Kimberly chose some scrap-friendly patterns to work on this year, and we gathered a few more to inspire you. When looking for the perfect pattern to use your leftover fabrics, you’ll want a quilt that calls for small pieces in the fabric requirements. Consider the size of your scrap stash and choose a quilt pattern accordingly.

1. Scrappy Strings from Scrappiness is Happiness by Lori Holt

Kimberly took scraps from various fabric collections and used them to make the Scrappy Strings Quilt from Scrappiness is Happiness, Lori Holt’s newest book.

If this quilt is calling to you, you need only a few things to make your scrappy quilt like Kimberly’s, including Lori Holt’s new book and some of Lori Holt’s interfacing (due in September). You can also use lightweight printer paper or plain fabric as the foundation to which to sew your scraps.
