As the year comes to a close it can be a good time to clear out your collection of scrap materials that have built up during a year of quilting. Patterns for scrap quilts are fun ways to use up all your stored scraps of material. Even if you don’t have an extensive scrap collection you can still make a fun scrap quilt with packages of pre-cut fabrics in any pattern or theme you can think of.

Maybe you only have a few scraps hiding with your quilting supplies, or you might have many scraps but all in small pieces.
