Scrap Buster Quilt
Moda Bakeshop has this quilt made from two jelly rolls. http://www.modabakeshop.com/2012/07/...uilt.html#more
However, if you're like me and have a lot of leftover 2-1/2" strips, this would be a great stash buster. I have a large drawer full of strips and I think I'll make this quilt with all those scraps. Should be interesting. |
Thank you, I like

Thank you for sharing this link, I love this quilt, bright, whimsical and looks easy to make. I printed off the pattern.

Thanks I love this, and love the Moda Bake Shop. Think I will do in Halloween prints I have, with a black pinwheel.

here is a similar quilt pattern that was hanging up in my lqs. it looks good with scrap fabrics and the stars are more pronounced.

I like the quilt shop one better than the Moda one. They are the same except one uses a stip of 4 strips and one uses a strip of three strips. I think the stars show better on the 3 strip one. If you go to the Moda site, there is a comment there that names the pattern for the quilt shop one. It is by Jaybird Quilts called Unwind. ( I have no connection, just mentioning what I found). I really want to make it but the pattern is $10 plus shipping for what looks like a simple pattern. Call me cheap if you want, but I have a hard time paying that much for a simple pattern. I think I will try to alter the free Moda one for use with three strips and see what I get. Since I will be making my own measurements, and my quilt will be for a gift, not for sale, is this ethical to do?

i plan to use this pattern to make a few quilts for quilts for kids. it's simple to do and should go pretty fast. p.s. it almost does seem like the moda designer pirated the jaybird quilt pattern, changed it by adding another strip and making the background fabric slimmer and calling it another name. hmm... we really do borrow from each other's ideas.:thumbup: |
Thanks!
I love this idea. I have a drawer full of 2.5" strips.:thumbup: |

First time to post here, Carol ~ and thanks ljfox. i didn't know the name of the pattern. i saw the quilt hanging in my lqs and just snapped a pic of it. |

Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link -- I like the look of the block and I do have a lot of scraps.
|
I, too, would like to make my own strips. My question is where you join the strips, do you cut the strip straight across or on a diagonal?
|
Wow I also have a bin full of strips this pattern is a keeper thanks for posting :)
|
That is a very pretty quilt. How can I bookmark this topic?

sewellie not sure of your question but if you look at the moda bakeshop pattern it will give directions on how to make this quilt. both quilts are essentially the same pattern just a different number of strips and width of the diagonal strip. i hope this helps. |
Thank you for posting this link. I plan to use it for left over strips and for millitary donation quilts. I could see using left over red/white/blue strips and making the stars golden yellow.
