You’ll have fun using up some of your fabric stash on this quilt. Nine different squares of fabric are piled up and cut into pieces through all the layers at the same time. The pieces are then reassembled to make nine blocks, each with a different arrangement of all nine fabrics. Each block looks different from the others because the pieces are rearranged, although the stages of construction are the same each time.
Stash-Buster Quilts features the Crazy Nine-Patch quilt and thirteen more fun patchwork projects that are perfect for using up
fabric scraps. With stunning photography and detailed step-by-step
instructions, this book makes it easy for quilters to make the most of
their stash.
