Two Scrap Buster quilts by Joanne

Playing with her scraps, Joanne made these two improvisational quilts, the first which she called Blue Scraps was done by continuing to add blue fabric until she had a nice sized lap quilt (42 x 59 inches).

Joanne decided that the Drip pantograph from Beany Girl Quilts was an appropriate design for this quilt, and we completed Blue Scraps with a royal blue thread.

For her second scrappy quilt Joanne tried my Mile a Minute tutorial, and made scrappy blocks fit together with sashing and cornerstones and a red border.  I think she enjoyed the process.

For this patchy quilt Joanne chose the Popcorn pantograph by Jodi Beamish and a cream coloured thread.

Joanne had a few blocks left over, so she incorporated them into back art for the quilt.

A fun and useful way to use up fabric scraps.
