Scrap Crossing — Pattern + Free Video Workshop

If your scrap bin feels overwhelming…
this is your fresh-start project for the new year.

Scrap Crossing is a scrap-friendly quilt that looks intentional, balanced, and thoughtfully designed — not busy or chaotic. It’s the kind of quilt that uses what you already have, while still giving you a polished, confident finish.

How Scrap Crossing Works

Step 1: Pre-order the pattern

Enter your email below and continue to checkout.

👉 As soon as you complete your order, you’ll receive an email with exclusive prep materials to help you:

• Organize your scraps

• Make fabric decisions with confidence

• Get fully prepared before the workshop begins

(Prep materials are emailed only to those who order.)

Step 2: Workshop + pattern access begins

🗓 Monday, January 19

On January 19, you’ll receive access to:

• The Scrap Crossing written pattern

• A recorded video workshop inside your Joyful and Merry Quilting library

The workshop is not live, so you can watch — and rewatch — anytime as you work through your quilt.

This is Beginner Friendly (and NOT Foundation Piecing)

This project uses simple, traditional piecing — no paper piecing, no templates, and no special tools.

✔ Confident beginner friendly
✔ Standard ¼" seam allowance
✔ Clear, step-by-step instruction

And if you don’t have a large scrap stash (or would rather keep things simple), pre-cuts work beautifully for this project too.

What You'll Learn in the Scrap Crossing Workshop

This is more than a pattern — it’s a skill-building project designed to help you quilt with confidence.

Scrapbusting that looks cohesive

• How to turn scraps into a quilt that feels planned, not random

• Why more variation and contrast actually improves the final design

A block that looks complex — but isn’t

• How to build a nine-patch-based block that’s approachable and forgiving

• Why working with slightly oversized pieces improves accuracy

• How trimming keeps everything square and centered

The “big teaching moment”: narrow strip alignment

• How to align thin cross strips the same way you would sashing

• A simple marking technique that removes guesswork

• How to keep narrow strips straight, centered, and visually balanced

• A transferable skill you’ll use in future quilts

On-point layouts without fear

• How to work with an on-point layout confidently

• How to cut setting triangles intentionally so:

  • Outside edges stay on straight grain

  • You avoid stretchy bias edges before borders are added
    
    

Fabric Flexibility

Use what you have — without sacrificing the final look.

• Scrap squares or pre-cuts for the blocks

• Background options:

  • Yardage for a calm, consistent look

  • OR background scraps, with guidance on keeping each block consistent
    
    

Finished Quilt Details

• On-point quilt with a scrappy outer border

• Approximate finished size: 71.5" x 85.5" (with a 3" finished outer border)

• A design that:

  • Highlights scraps without overwhelming the eye

  • Looks striking from across the room and beautiful up close
