Where does the fabric from quilts come from?
Many quilters use scraps from sewing projects, but they also buy fabrics at quilt shops, at general fabric stores and at quilt shows from artists who create unique fabrics. Some quiltmakers dye or color their own fabrics. They dye them solid colors, or use methods to create patterns the way that you may have created patterns when dyeing Easter eggs by using special crayons or pieces of adhesive tape. Some quilt makers paint or draw on fabrics as well.
