I've been making what I call scrap quilts for as long as I've been making quilts, and that's more than 40 years now. We commonly think of scrap quilts as those made out of the leftovers from making clothes, or from the good parts of worn out clothing, and that's what scrap quilts used to be. Most of today's scrap quilts have less humble origins, since many of today's quilters don't make clothing, and most of the clothing that wears out is of fabric not suitable for quilts.

Every quilter know the ones I'm talking about – maybe they are in the closet in your house, or tucked away in some other place for safekeeping. These are the ones with all those quilt blocks in them that you made and then got bored with, or got in a block exchange, or your friend gave you when she got bored with them. What to do? How do you actually make a quilt from them? How should you put them together? Let's dive under the squiggle and we'll talk about one of the many possibilities – pieced sashing.
