How to Make a Scrappy Quilt

Laura Ann Coia from Sew Very Easy is a wonderful tutor, covering all sorts of topics for sewing and quilting projects.

For instance, she has videos on making a Quick Kids Quilt, a T-Shirt Quilt, a One-Block Pattern quilt, and a series of Block of the Month how-to's based on Quilting Confection's free patterns.

Below many of her instructional videos are links to free patterns.

In the video above, she guides us through making good use of scrap fabric, including how to cut the strips (using a rotary cutter, ruler, and a self-healing mat), how to choose and position them for creating blocks, and how to combine the blocks into a basket weave pattern.
