Quilt beautiful projects whether you want to use up your stash or spend your cash!
Featuring 10 quilt patterns and two options for each—one "Stash" (using scraps and fabric you already own) and one "Cash" (newly purchased fabric)—inside this inspirational guide, you get to decide for each project whether you want to use up your fabric scraps or go shopping for new yardage. With step-by-step instructions, expert tips, helpful diagrams, and other helpful tips, Quilting with Stash or Cash offers so much to love with 20 total quilt designs and possibilities.
Inside this unique quilting project book, you'll learn different ways to piece traditional quilt blocks for easy construction, make your stash fabrics work with patterns, cut and sort your scraps, add sashing and borders, and other techniques to strengthen your quilting skills.
For the Cash quilts, yardage and fabric collections are provided so you can shop for the exact materials required. For Stash quilts, designers strictly used only what they had in their possession, no purchases allowed—which sometimes required some extra creativity! Also included are introductory sections on the premise of Stash or Cash, materials, tools, terminology, and technique tutorials. With this unique, must-have guide in your quilt book collection, you'll feel inspired to shop for something new, get creative with what you already own, or both—the choice is yours!
