Some quilts are carefully planned and made from a limited number of fabrics, each fabric chosen before the quilt is started, each fabric chosen in order to achieve a specific harmony of color, contrast and pattern in the finished quilt. Scrap quilts are not made that way. Scrap quilts are pieced together using a wide variety of different fabrics. A quilter might begin a scrap quilt using whatever interesting bits of fabric are on hand at the time. As other, different fabrics become available to the quilter, they are often incorporated into the scrap quilt. While there is often the appearance of randomness in a scrap quilt, there is usually some personal logic, not always apparent to others, in the way the quilter chooses and uses those bits and pieces of fabric.
I chose the title Scrap Quilt because my blog will probably be made up of posts on a variety of topics, depending on what life presents at any given time, and what I find interesting.
