How do you make a successful scrap quilt? Learn Diane Harris's best tips and top secrets during this trunk show of many scrappy quilts made over the years. 
Can diverse fabrics come together into a gorgeous and unique scrap quilt? How does that happen? Why are some scrap quilts beautiful while others are a jumbly mess? Learn how humble fabric bits can be pulled into a cohesive work of art as Diane Harris from Stash Bandit shares dozens of one-of-a-kind quilts in an energetic, entertaining, and educational trunk show. Discover how to see your stash with new eyes and increase your fabric savvy. Your quilts are sure to be jazzed up and better than ever before!
