There is a drawer you keep meaning to sort: old remnants, pieces bought because the print was irresistible, scraps from projects that felt too good to throw away. Most beginners start quilting exactly here, not with a coordinated shop bundle, but with a beloved, imperfect pile that never quite found its purpose. That pile is the book.

Each of the twelve blocks in this book draws on the scraps in that drawer and teaches a specific construction skill the next block depends on.

Twelve Blocks, Twelve Skills, One Finished Sampler

  • Prepare irregular scraps for accurate cutting regardless of size, age, or fabric condition
  • See value contrast: the lightness-and-darkness reading that makes any scrap pairing work
  • Sew, test, and adjust a quarter-inch seam before the first piece of project fabric is cut
  • Build from the Four-Patch and Nine-Patch through the Ohio Star, Bear's Paw, and Log Cabin
  • Use the no-waste flying geese method and the two-at-a-time half-square triangle technique
  • Combine all twelve finished blocks into a 66 by 52 inch sampler quilt, sashed and bound
  • Work with the scrap basket you already own, from the very first project to the last
