Stashbust with Quilting Projects!

In the past year, we’ve seen many sewists take to piecing and quilting. And for good reason: Those precious scraps take up space! If you’re looking for quilted project ideas beyond quilts, try one of these:

Make a simple set of quilted potholders with a decorative serged edge by Bianca Springer.
Piece strips of tonal fabrics for the ultimate Sandstone Ombre Tote by Malka Dubrawsky.
Create a custom buffalo plaid pattern with simple piecing and instructions by Erin Weisbart.
And if you’re ready, jump in with the Windom Quilted Bomber Jacket for the ultimate cool weather statement piece, designed by Kimberly Payne of Straight Stitch Designs. We’ll be making this together as part of our winter sew-along.

And don’t forget holiday gifts and decor! With these ideas, you won’t have to invest a ton of time for stunning results. Create a no-sew set of high-end leather jewelry from scraps, stitch plush pet beds for the beloved critters in your life, and make a quick Cheery Wrapped Wreath with almost no sewing involved.
