Scrappy Bits Appliqué

From fabric bits and snips to fanciful modern art quilts

• Turn scraps from your sewing room into one-of-a-kind quilts with simple collage techniques and raw-edged appliqué
• Mix it up! Play with fresh colors and blends of modern and vintage fabrics
• Foolproof fun - if you can sew a straight line, you can make these quick, easy quilts

Create something delightful from the scraps in your fabric stash. Modern quilt designer Shannon Brinkley shows you how easy it is to collage scrappy bits and pieces into colorful new fabrics, then cut them into shapes you can use to accent quilts, pillows, or just about anything! Shannon’s super-simple techniques and clever piecing shortcuts subtract the work from making these quilts and leave all the fun. Try your hand at eight modern projects (each in multiple sizes), then go on to create your own scrappy bits designs.
