Most quilters think patterns must be followed exactly… but that’s not true.

You can change a quilt pattern to fit the scraps you already have.

This scrap quilt block is a great example:

A traditional 16-patch (4×4) can easily become 5×5 just by adjusting the strip sizes.

Same concept.
Different pieces.
Way more ways to use your scraps.

Quilt patterns are just a starting point — don’t be afraid to make them your own.
