The scrap quilts in Simple Strategies for Block-Swap Quilts by Lynn Roddy Brown were all made using patchwork blocks acquired in trades. Making and trading identical sets of blocks is an efficient way to acquire many different blocks and is also a wonderful way to get a greater variety of fabrics. Tips to get started and instructions are included for creating 15 scrap quilts.

About the AuthorLynn Roddy Brown is a sixth generation Texan who has always loved to sew. She took her first sewing lessons at the age of eight at the local Singer sewing-machine shop. When she was 10, she won the Singer regional dressmaking contest and received a sewing machine as her prize. As she was growing up, there was one beautiful quilt in her home, made by Lynn's great grandmother as a wedding gift to her parents. This quilt, which now belongs to Lynn, kindled a lifelong interest in quilting. In the early 1970s, she began tearing pictures of quilts from magazines and did some patchwork with templates, but it was not until 1989 when she lived in Rochester, New York, that she began to quilt seriously. For the past 10 years, she has been a member of a bee that trades blocks for scrap quilts. She loves scrap quilts because they give her the opportunity to use many different fabrics. Lynn currently lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband, an economics professor at Rice University. She and her husband have also lived in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. They have three grown children, one wonderful son-in-law and two cherished grandchildren. Lynn has been a seventh-grade science teacher and computer programmer. She received a kidney transplant in January of 2002, for which she is truly grateful.
