This is one of those quilts turned out exactly right. So many quilts take a wrong turn somewhere, but of course I don’t know it till it’s too late, or sometimes I never quite know why I don’t love them. But this one, is just all my favorite things, even though it is nothing too exciting design-wise.
I used two widths of strips, 2.5″, and 3.5″. I cut each piece into one of these widths, and then any varying length. Such an easy quilt to put together, and looks so unpretentious and scrappy.
The fabrics are a large variety, with a lot of Denyse Schmidt mixed in of course. I ordered a fat quarter bundle of her Winter Walk collection, and really love some of the prints. It’s a mystery to me why more online shops are not carrying her latest collections? Or maybe I just don’t know where to look… Is there less demand for her fabrics? I find them to be perfect for vintage style that still has an up to date feel to it.
A very sweet scrappy quilt! Love all the little pieces of DS fabric, and I agree, her fabrics really do add to that gentle vintage-style warmth.
So glad I saw this lovely little quilt today! I've been looking for a simple, scrappy look for a baby quilt and this totally works! Thanks so much for sharing.:)
Love the look of that and that youngster might be taking that to college, ha ha, like my daughter did her “Puff Puff” !! (If she sees this, she will kill me :).
You always inspire my scrappy heart! Love it!

Very cute. I like it. I have purchased DS fabrics quite often at Joanns fabrics.
So pretty and comfy. I’m not sure why DS prints aren’t as advertised as they used to be either. It’s quite odd because I know lots love her work!
Love it! I am looking for something easy to piece and this is great! I am inspired to make a few of these to have on hand for gifts.
Wonderful scrappy quilt. I love the colors and complexity, despite the simplicity of the pattern. And your labels remind me that I should really print some of my own (or order some).
I love this…This is exactly what I am looking to do…easy, scrappy, relaxing…sigh..so wonderful thx for the encouragement and inspiration
Random scrappy = Awesome scrappy!!!
