TASTER: Standing Stones by Kim Shaw
FREE Tasters (Quilting) • Educational, G, 01-Jan-2012
Another Scrap Braid patchwork idea
In this little project Kim introduces how to make braid strips, which you can then rescale to make larger quilts. They are also a great way of using up your own scraps, but you can purchase a colour co-ordinated kit from Kim, if you want to make a start.
You can also see Scap Braid Quilts with Valerie.
