scrap quilt
Leftover fabric bedcover
A scrap quilt is a quilt made from leftover fabric pieces rather than fabric purchased for a specific design.
Quilters traditionally saved scraps from clothing and other sewing projects, combining them into patchwork patterns.
The randomness of colors and prints gives scrap quilts their characteristic charm: My grandmother's scrap quilt contains pieces from three generations of family clothing.
