Stitching from the Scrap Bin: 16-Patch Blocks
Colleen TaukeJoin Colleen Tauke on Tuesday, January 6th at 10:00 a.m. CT / 11:00 a.m. ET for the first NQC live stream of 2026! Let’s kick off the new year by setting a creative goal and turning our attention to those ever-growing fabric scraps.
It’s easy to get buried in leftover fabrics, even the ones we carefully selected and couldn’t wait to use. In this live tutorial, Colleen will show how stitching scraps into 16-patch blocks not only puts those fabrics to good use, but also creates a scrappy record of your quilt journey for a future project. Let’s cut, stitch, and start the year by making something meaningful from what we already have.

Nice Iowa State mug! I'm in Iowa. I stitched, quilted and gifted my great-granddaughters baby quilt. The 1 and only I had time to make. Would love to tackle the set up on my new quilting room.
