Of course, if you are using your scraps, you do not have to worry about calculating the fabric requirements for the new size. In no time at all you will have a bed quilt. If you want to make a bigger quilt, add more blocks to each row and column. I prefer to use fabrics with large prints on blocks where the motifs will be quickly seen and not broken by seams.īegin by making the half-square triangles, then assemble them into pinwheels for the center of the blocks.
I would rather avoid large prints, though, because the fabric pieces are 2″ or 2-1/2″ inches. Speaking of interest, batiks come with amazing textures, and quilts never lack interest when made with them. The colors I selected have basically the same value – each block has a different color scheme to add vibrancy and interest. Whatever you do, carefully choose an accent, darker fabric for the that one patch of each block, which will create the secondary design – the purple flowers that appear “here and there” on my quilt. The options are endless: gather florals for a romantic look, 1930s fabrics for a vintage quilt, plaids for a cabin throw, or solids for a totally modern design. This will simplify the task of auditioning fabrics from your stash. The fabrics on this easy scrappy quilt PDF pattern are labeled with letters.
The pattern explains everything you need to do, with tips for keeping the units organized for smooth assembly. This is the only block you will make, except you will have 5 versions of it if you do it as I planned.
