Here's where the magic happens! Cut your stash of fat quarters into strips, then stitch and press them to create a whole new fabric.
Carnival Squares & Up and Down

Using the window template included in your class materials, you'll master the "Carnival Squares" and "Up and Down" quilt designs.
Candy Strips

"Candy Strips" - not stripes! - is another bold design to try. Set on a neutral background, the strip sets create a striking vertical design.
Paint Box

You'll cut, lay out, stitch and embellish the "Paint Box" design, which uses negative space to create positive results.
Kaleidoscope

Swirling, colorful strip-set triangles set into hexagons form the patterns of "Kaleidoscope."
Curved Play

Good to the Last Scrap
35:34
Nothing goes to waste in this class! From your strip set scraps, you'll create five cute projects that make great gifts, including placemats and napkins, a 16" pillow, waterproof snack bags and clever notebook covers.
If your stash is growing to epic proportions, strip it down! In this class, you’ll learn the fast, easy, and thrifty technique of strip piecing. Starting with color matching techniques, you’ll work with the fabric you already have in your collection to make small gifts or a beautiful heirloom quilt. gWith Nancy Smith’s help, use every last scrap to make 6 different quilt designs, plus 5 clever projects, including pillows, waterproof snack bags, table linens, notebook covers, and more. As you work from fat quarters and yardage down to bits and pieces, nothing will go to waste in this class.
