If you have a large pile of fabric scraps, 'Switch!' is the perfect quilt for you. The center of the quilt is a fun puzzle—which, once you’ve started, is hard to put down—and contains no fewer than 200 different fabrics! You can choose your favorite scraps, swap fabrics with friends, and add those 'ugly fabrics' you never thought you would use.
If you are unfamiliar with appliqué, you can easily replace the appliqué border with a beautiful floral fabric. This, and more tips and variations, are included in the pattern. Materials:
