These blocks are called Framed Scraps and we are essentially going to sew a ‘frame’ around our scraps and hang them on a figurative blank wall.

Step 1: Choosing your Fabric Scraps.

[{"selector":"#anim-ba0e8956-4674-4dcc-9562-7c63bd038cab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-54020ad6-2275-475e-a7b0-330b83ea2d97","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.18183%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6e81ed5f-909b-49de-bec5-69757e903306","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d30885b6-baef-4c8e-a303-028868065f6f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Sew a black strip to each side of your 'focus' scrap, trimming as you go so that each side of your frame is 1/2". from your seam line.

[{"selector":"#anim-5ac04006-cac5-455e-a168-79d037002062","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-168ffc15-f8e0-45be-8a2d-4179151f5342","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-142f259b-b4a5-4fe0-aca9-84fce2727293","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.97234%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8ae4db17-4bc4-4077-a291-5353b2ac425a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Sew right sides to right sides using a quarter-inch seam allowance.

Continue adding black strips and trimming to size all the way around your scrap. This will make your ‘frame’.

[{"selector":"#anim-f030e4df-6854-472a-a05b-a5a7c4c905c6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more
