Scrappy Play Time -Come
join me to play with your pretty scraps. Making fabric out of nothing. I will
show you how I cut, sort, and store my scraps in a rainbow of colour. I will
then show you how I have used my tiny bits of fabric. You will build fabric
using your precious scraps with a few poverty piecing techniques shown. Our
larger blocks will be based on traditional quilt blocks, but we will have used
poverty piecing to add greater interest and texture. Students can choose the
Bouncy Ball block or a Friendship Star block, some students may have time for
both blocks. Poverty Piecing is also called Crumb blocks.
