A scrap quilt that I finished about a month ago. It just sold, and I realized I hadn’t shown it here on the blog. I started cutting rectangles, 2.5”x3.5”. It’s a slightly different look than squares, so it’s something fun to try for a change. I then started sewing them together, alternating light and dark. If I had quite a few rectangles from one type of fabric, I didn’t spread them out through the quilt, but rather kept them together just as I pulled them off the stack. In the end, I think it gives the quilt a nice pattern with less chaos.
On the right hand side, I did a few rows with squares rather than rectangles. It’s not something you easily notice, but it’s fun to add surprises!
Love this quilt!
This quilt turned out so nice, such a simple pattern but so striking! Happy Stitching!
I love this quilt! Your design is terrific! It was so fun to look at all of your different fabrics. I always want to copy every quilt you make, they’re so good. Thanks for your tips today, and soooo glad to see you posting your “beauties” and tips more. ��
Love the pictures of your new quilts you made with your scraps.
Love this quilt…one thing I have been finding is how darned hard it is to collect low volume prints with colour in them…ie a small sprig on a white background. Light value fabrics are tough to collect!
