Making Scrap Quilts with Torn Bits and Strips
Heather Thomas talks about using torn bits and scraps of leftover fabric on smaller quilting projects to create fun, unique pieces. She shows several examples of her own work, including a project that she based off of her daughter’s scribbling and a few pieces that contain schlubs, or thread that gets left behind in the dryer.

T-Shirt Quilt Preparation
While quilts are generally made from 100% cotton fabric, and t-shirts are general knit or some other kind of fabric, they can be easily combined into a quilt if the right preparation is done to the t-shirt first. Colleen Tauke explains how to wash, prepare, stabilize, and cut blocks and pieces from t-shirts to be used in quilts. She then shows several examples of finished quilts.

Personalizing Your Quilts with Prairie Points
As a quilter, I alway try to make each project my own, even if I’m using another person’s pattern. I first started doing this in 1991 when I became a longarm quilter. At the time, the tagline for my longarm quilting service was: Every quilt is made from the heart. I would stitch a couple of small hearts into each quilt, making the work I had done a little more personal. Often, my clients would ask, “Where are the hearts?” They seemed to enjoy that final embellishing touch as much as I did!

Fussy Cut Big Prints for Mini Quilts
When people think of making a mini quilt they often think of using fabrics that have small prints. This makes sense given that mini quilts start with very small pieces to make small blocks, which then get assembled into quilts less than 24” in length and width. However, Laura Roberts will show you that isn’t always true. You will learn how to use a technique known as fussy cutting to incorporate big prints into a mini quilt.
