Beautiful quilt, lovely idea. There is no actual pattern for the "sew and flip" technique. You start with an irregularly shaped focus fabric (usually 5 sides) and lay it in the center of a square of foundation fabric a little larger than the block size you want. Then scrap fabrics (frequently first cut into manageable strips) are sewn on one by one. After each seam, the fabric is “flipped” and pressed into place. The excess is trimmed as you go, in order to reduce bulk. It is very similar to a "crazy quilt." I love this technique, because no templates are required, and you use scraps and just see what happens! Because I have trouble machine quilting large things, I use the "quilt as you go" method after all of the blocks are constructed. First each block is quilted (I use stitch in the ditch) to a backing fabric with batting between, of course. After they are trimmed to size, they are connected with a narrow sashing in the QAYG method. You could choose any method of setting the blocks and quilting. My avatar is "sew and flip" set on point and finished with QAYG. Dayle |
great idea using scrubs I see them all the time at the thrift store and now have a way to use them. Thanks for sharing your quilt with us.

Oh, that's sew cute! Snoopy was my favorite when I was in college and it's good to see he's still with us! That checked border sets it off beautifully! It must have been fun to plan and stitch! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I chose the checked border because it reminded me of a bistro. Do you remember that Snoopy had an imaginary French girlfriend that he visited in Europe during his flying ace days? Dayle |
Oh my goodness, how adorable!
|
Love this quilt and its pattern. Thanks for sharing!
|
This is absolutely adorable! I love the wonky blocks with Snoopy as the focus in each one. Beautifully done, too
|
Love it and the way you used the fabrics. The binding is great.
|
I would send it to your brother anyway and tell him to keep it for a future baby in his family. I would never give something this nice away to a stranger. :-)
|
What a cute quilt! Love the scrub idea. And as long as the other fabrics are also washed, you can mix fabrics in a quilt.. How else do you think those T-shirt quilts are made?? Or jeans? Or silk? or Crown Royal bag quilts? Don't let the quilt police stop you!
|
I love Snoopy and your quilt is great! You really did a super job on it. I would definitely keep that beauty in the family!
|
that is a great quilt!
|
Really cute. Good repurposing.
|
Absolutely adorable quilt!
|
Your baby quilt is adorable!
|
Your quilt is one of the most wonderful baby quilts I have seen. I love it all and the fact that you used scrub for some of the fabric is awesome. What a fabulous job and I sincerely hope it stays in the family.

I love the fabrics colors you chose to put with the snoppy fabric. Great job.
|

That is an awesome quilt. I used to draw charlie brown and the gang along with mickey mouse as a child. I tried a couple of months ago to draw them and can't. Mother tells me to keep practicing. Believe it or not, I use to draw murals on the walls also.
|
That is really cute..
|
If you don't pass it on as a baby quilt, it would make a great wall hanging!
|
That is absolutely gorgeous! I love Snoopy and grew up with the gang. I love the binding fabric it makes the quilt look so special. Thank you for sharing! :)
