The Overview
Half the thrill of creating a scrapbook quilt is working without a pattern. This also accounts for three-quarters of the headaches if you're not used to doing it this way. The idea, basically, is to join photographs and other transferred images together by sashing them with 1 and 1/2" wide strips of fabric. The units will grow and change shape as you add to them. You'll audition images as you go. As the chunks of quilt become larger you'll want to think of how the whole quilt will fit together. Assembly will proceed more easily if there are several large panels of sashed images, in varying widths, that can be joined either vertically or horizontally.
Size, rather than color or subject matter, becomes the determining factor in
selecting which images get stitched together. (If I sew a strip of fabric to the
bottom of Uncle Harold, will he be as tall as Cousin Maude?)
