someone is making a quilt with purple and white strips on the bottom, while another hand holds

Here is another quick and easy to make 'quilt as you go' block and it is the second in our series of QAYG blocks. (You can find the first QAYG block here.) I really love playing around with my scrap fabric to see what I can make. You can make an assortment of different types and sew them all together into a quilt or you can sew them into table runners and cushion covers. But whatever you decide to do, these quilt blocks will help you to use up your fabric stash, and that's always a plus. And…

a quilt is hanging on a wooden chair with the caption, until as you go strip quilt

Making a quilt can be a bit pricey, especially when you consider sending it to be quilted once you've finished piecing the top. If you are a DIY kind of gal, then this quilting method will definitely appeal. Here's how to make it: Using anywhere between 3 and 16 different fabrics cut the following strips: Three 6" x 42" Two 5" x 42" Four 4" x 42" Five 3" x 42" Two 2" x 42" Lay them out on the ground in a random pleasing pattern. Then, cut a backing fabric (you may need to piece it) 45" x 60"…

a quilted table topper with many different colors and patterns on the fabric,

Well hello there! I know I've been sharing a lot of single blocks lately and I'm so happy to be able to share a finished quilt today. And there's a bonus - I've got a free PDF pattern to go along with it! This is Simple Bricks - a fat quarter friendly pattern that sews up quickly since there's no tricky piecing or seams that need to match up! The finished quilt measures 63" x 72" and needs just 11 fat quarters and just over a yard of background fabric. The fabric I used for this quilt is…

a quilt hanging on a clothes line with the words how many jelly rolls to make lap, twin, queen, king

Jelly rolls can make it so easy to quickly finish a quilt top, but how many jelly rolls to make a quilt? Jelly roll fabric strips are 2 1/2" wide by the width of the fabric, making it pretty nice when it comes to sewing straight lines.

several pieces of fabric laid out on a wooden table with scissors and rulers next to them

Do you ever wonder how many quilts you can sew from your stash? I ponder this question a lot. My stash isn't huge but it was beginning to feel out of control. It was time to sew a scrappy quilt and use the fabrics at the bottom of my bins - you know the ones that are destined to be forgotten forever. My fabric bins are sorted by colour and my original plan was to grab the blue bin and sew something but on a family drive inspiration struck! Instead I grabbed the blue, teal and aqua bins and…
