Turn your tiniest fabric scraps into stunning art with this confetti quilting tutorial from Create Whimsy. This innovative technique allows you to “paint” with fabric by using confetti-sized bits to build a detailed picture or abstract design. It is the ultimate scrap-busting project because no piece of fabric is too small to use.
To start your fabric art, lay your scraps onto a base of fabric, batting, or fusible interfacing. For the best results, cover the entire design with a layer of fine tulle to secure the small pieces before quilting. This method creates a beautiful, textured mini quilt that looks professional and sophisticated. Whether you want to “paint” a meadow of spring flowers or a modern abstract scene, this tutorial helps you transform your scrap bin into a masterpiece.
