When starting a new quilt, many of us make an extra block or two—perhaps to test a pattern, use up leftover fabric, or simply because we lost count. Over time, those “orphan” blocks and fabric scraps begin to add up. You may have added them to a quilt back or tucked them into a label, but what about those leftover binding strips? Those are a treasure just waiting to be opened and liberated! Join Nancy and Julie for a fun and inspiring afternoon workshop focused on creative ways to turn orphan blocks and fabric scraps into beautiful quilts. We’ll share ideas, discuss possibilities, and show sample projects to spark your imagination.
