Fabric Recipe: Use florals, dots, paisleys, etc. in multi colors (as shown below). Choose one dark-ish and one light-ish print. (Some low contrast blocks will be nice too.)
Directions:
1. Cut two strips, 3 inches wide. Sew them together lengthwise. Press.
2. Cut 5.5" lengths, as shown in the photo below. Arrange the blocks as shown in the next photo. Sew. Press. That's it!
You may want to bring your scraps so the winner of the blocks will have some matching fabrics for a possible border.
Looks easy but very interesting pattern

ReplyDeleteI have been looking for a pattern like this, I'm new to quilting but have lots of fabric from garment sewing and I feel this would to nicely, Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm a beginner quilter and I love this pattern. It looks like something I could easily do. However I'm confused... How long are the 3-inch strips to begin with? I try to figure it out but couldn't
ReplyDeleteWidth of your fabric.
DeleteThe Stripes are 3in wide and 22in long, then cut into 5.5 in length pieces. To complete a total of 14 to 15 blocks (probably to much) you will need 3/4 yard of each color.
