While going through my blue and green scrap baskets, I took all pieces at least 3.5″ wide or more and trimmed to 3.5″ width by whatever length they were. ( I did cut up some longer strips into shorter pieces)
Then I divided them into two piles, light and dark. I used the Jelly Roll Race method (google jelly roll race and there are lots of video tutorials)to whip up these two quilt tops. They both ended up around 50″x60″. And I still have enough light strips to make another quilt this size. It’s amazing how much fabric is in those mounds of scraps!
Now I just need to get these all quilted up!
Wow, that's a lot of scraps to make two quilts that size. Love how they turned out! Have a great week!
They both look beautiful. Have a great Christmas time.
I have been making the strip quilts you gave the tutorial on – they have turned out amazing; my color sense will never be as good as yours but I am trying – LOVE the quilt tops you have made here..have a great Christmas and thanks so much for the tutorials and advice you give..
I am now very tempted to do something similar with my blue scraps because my drawer is full. Like really full.
great idea thanks
They're so pretty!
The larger scale and disciplined palette look really nice! I especially like the vertically oriented quilt.
I love all those Anna Maria Horner pieces together they look amazing 🙂
Thank you for this great idea 🙂
Merry Christmas!
