Love Scrappy Baby Quilt

Hi Quilters! Let's make a really scrappy baby quilt! Those who attended the free class on scraps learned some techniques on how to use very small scraps that we collect over time, right? Yes quilters, I don't discard small scraps from flying-geese trimming, from some cut made from strips. I put all the scraps together so I can use them in some other future quilt!

Like this one! Love Scrappy Baby Quilt is made with scraps.

And let's go to the Scrappy Baby Quilt tutorial!

MATERIAL: (size 37" x 54")

1. Scraps of different sizes.
2. (1) 0.80cm neutral fabric print or (2) 0.40cm neutral fabric prints each for background.

4. 1.00 m of lining fabric.
5. 0.20cm of finishing fabric.
6. 1.50m of thin interlining (water-soluble) 0.90cm wide.

d) Cut background fabric (6) strips of 5" x CDT (length of fabric) and subcut each strip into (11) 5" squares. Total of (59) 5" squares. If using (2) background prints, cut each print into (3) strips of 5" x CDT (length of fabric) and subcut each strip into (11) 5" squares.

e) Place DCD (1) 5" square of scrap fabric with (1) 5" square of neutral fabric and sew 1/4" on each side of the diagonal line. Cut diagonally, forming 2 HSTs. Images 6 and 7. If you want to know how to make HSTs you can watch my video "Learn to Make 2 HSTs at Once" on YouTube : https://youtu.be/w4DE6ZPyqpA

There you have it, your beautiful Scrappy Baby Quilt is ready! To better visualize the design formed by the HSTs, avoid using patterned background fabric, as the scraps are already very colorful. I suggest you use very neutral fabrics with light texture, white (it looks great) or solids.

I hope you enjoyed it and share it with others!
