Strippy Scrap Quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
I was able to use up most of the 2" strips in purple and green that I have making this quilt. It's going to be donated to a needy person.

Hi Grandma Peg, what I did was sew 3, 2" strips together and then cross cut them into 5" blocks. Then I unevenly snowballed two opposite corners with red, so they would come out with little star points. I really don't remember what I did with the red!

I hope you can gauge the number of blocks and rows from the photos. I didn't make it from a pattern, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Very pretty....

QuiltnNan 09-07-2016 11:46 AM

This would be a great way to use all those leftover triangles...I'm seeing all sorts of applications with different colors or fabric strip widths...Think minis, too.

I just love the quaint red stars. I was sitting here trying to figure out the way you achieved the appearance of stars. It's a great quilt.

annievee 09-08-2016 02:04 AM

What a great job---love the colors

jmoore 09-08-2016 03:08 AM

what fun colors...what a thoughtful scrappy quilt donation, someone is going to love it.

quilterpurpledog 09-08-2016 03:12 AM

The lovely bright colors you chose to use will certainly bring cheer to the person that receives your lovely quilt.

zozee 09-08-2016 03:23 AM

Nice job! Love the red stars. Can you explain a little more about your "unevenly snowballing" technique? I think I know what you mean, but the morning coffee hasn't hit my brain yet. I'm thinking you must have cut 1/2 the triangles off at one measurement, the other 1/2 at another, slightly bigger measure?

Karamarie 09-08-2016 04:05 AM

sewbizgirl - that is so colorful, gives me an idea for my string quilt.

joyce888 09-08-2016 04:26 AM

All the colors made a bright and cheerful quilt.

crrdownshift 09-08-2016 04:35 AM

About that pattern:- Jenny of Missouri Star Quilt Company did a demonstration of a similar pattern. Don't remember the name of the pattern, (included the word "stars") but it should be easy to find.

twinkie 09-08-2016 04:42 AM

Love your scrappy.

Moonglow 09-08-2016 04:52 AM

Lovely. Bright and cheerful.

feline fanatic 09-08-2016 05:08 AM

The pop of red really ties the whole thing together. Very vibrant.

EmiliasNana 09-08-2016 05:51 AM

You have great vision for scraps. I love it. I look at all the colors and prints and can't for the life of me decide what to do. Wish I had your talent. I finally started cutting them in strips and charm sqs. and sorting by color to be able to use existing patterns. I'm too OCD to do uncontrolled scrappy.
