Quilter's Plaid - The first quilt pattern of 2022! from Selvage Blog


I love the plaid vibe of this quilt! The dark, light and medium values from my stash play well together and give a nice translucent look. This easy pattern can turn stash into gifts for loved ones fast.

You could make it scrappy or use some repeating fabric squares in horizontal or vertical rows as I've done in this sample quilt. The number of squares that are repeated vary.

Easy Scrap Buster Christmas Quilt ~ My Favorite Binding Tools from Podunk Pretties

It just doesn't get much easier than this.  I designed this quilt to use up my scrap stash.  As you all probably already know,  I didn't use it up but I did put a good dent in it even if I can't really tell by looking at the scrap basket.Adding the colors orange and brown required a dig through my larger fabric stash.  Both colors are not in my typical color pallet.  There were a few pieces of

This two-color scrap quilt is fast and fun to make, see pattern here: Far Horizon.

Cut a bunch of scraps by eye, using scissors. 
Trim with a rotary cutter after sewing the strips. 
This is the fast way to do it. No hassle.

Even though the scraps are different heights, it's easy to get a nice straight horizon. 
And I love that contrast line. I want to try purple and yellow next time.
This is a twin size. But a wall size for my quilt room would be nice.


And here's a tip for new quilters: When pinning ...

The Bee's Knees Scrap Quilt Pattern! from Selvage Blog

 


Another scrap quilt and pattern done! See the pattern here: The Bee's Knees Quilt Pattern. I can't get used to writing "sawtooths." It feels like it should be "sawteeth," but that's not much better. It reminds me of driving through the Beartooth Mountains and seeing signs for "The Beartooths." 


I like how the two sawtooth rows anchor the sea of scraps. This quilt is loaded with little surprises in the style of an "I Spy" quilt. There's food, seashells, digitally printed flowers (below) and lots more. I'm keeping a big box of rectangular scraps near ...

New Quilt Pattern: Adirondack from Selvage Blog


"Adirondack" is a quilt that would be right at home on the porch of a grand old camp in upstate New York. Add a some red and black buffalo plaid, and you can almost smell a wood fire. What a perfect time to be making scrap quilts, staying home in the winter.  :)



This quilt measures 60" wide x 80" long.



No seam-matching. Anywhere.

New Pattern: Town Square! from Selvage Blog





This quilt has two variations of the log cabin block separated by a nice saw tooth border. A piano key outer border adds a little elbow room for a light and airy vibe. This pattern isn't fussy when it comes to measuring. Gwen Marston's liberated quilting principles apply here.
View the pattern here. Immediate download, no waiting.

Scrap quilts are perfect for this stay-at-home year, aren't they? We quilters are so smart to have stashed away plenty of fabric for a time like this! (I have about 10 years worth!) 

Stay safe out there! xoxo
