Free Color Tools for Your Scrap Bin

Theresa Benson

All levels

Every piece in your scrap bin was picked by a different version of you, on a different day, in a different shop. No wonder they do not agree with each other.

In this class I will show you how I make a scrap quilt look like every fabric in it was chosen for it, using tools that cost nothing. 

You will leave with a free sheet of everything I used, a printable set of value sorting cards, and one thing you can do this afternoon without turning on a computer at all.

Free for All Attendees
  • Supply list
  • Class Bonus – Step-by-step notes from the class, along with some additional prompts and value cards.

Auto-generated Closed Captions are available. Use the CC box to turn them on/off.
To adjust volume, use both the sound tool on the video and controls on your device.

After watching this class, leave a love note or questions for Theresa in the comments of her dedicated Facebook post.

Pucker Up

Raw Edge Appliqué Digital Pattern

Theresa Benson – The AI Quilter

Pucker Up is a raw edge appliqué pattern that works like paint-by-number, except the numbers are fabric and nobody is grading you. You get the whole thing as a PDF the moment you claim it: numbered pieces at full scale, the base in color and grayscale, and palette pages including a blank one, so you can work out your colors on paper before you cut into anything. It finishes at 18 inches, and the resizing instructions mean it can stay a block, become a pillow, or take over a wall.

The AI Quilter

Meet Theresa Benson!

Theresa Benson is the founder of The AI Quilter, where she teaches at the intersection of quilting, color, and technology.

A self-described fat quarter hoarder and scrappy quilter by design, she has spent years developing systems for working confidently from a stash, including a color-based organization method that makes pulling cohesive quilts feel less like guesswork and a lot more fun.

A regular QuiltCon faculty member and author of Digital Muse: Bringing AI Into Your Creative Process, Theresa teaches quilters and creatives how to use modern tools without losing their voice or their values. Her approach is practical, honest, and a little nerdy in the best possible way.

She’s based in the Chicago area and can be found at theaiquilter.com.
