Are you ready to make the easiest quilt ever? If so, read on to see how I made this easy quilt with no measuring or pattern required!

The week between Christmas and New Year's I pin basted four quilts, preparing them for machine quilting. Today I am sharing the third finish of the four. I made this quilt from rectangles I found in a box of scraps from a quilt I made a number of years ago. There were a lot more rectangles than I remembered, so I started randomly placing them on my design wall and created this top. This was pure mindless sewing, which is needed on occasion! The machine quilting was purely mindless, too. I…

A few years ago I fell in love with scrap quilting, mostly because I hate waste. My issue though was my obsession with making things match. As I have progressed in the world of quilting, the ability to let go in scrap quilts and allow them to form has become easier. I have had to learn to separate my quilting into two forms, the beautiful matching blended creation and the random scrap quilt. Since one of my goals AGAIN this year is to use up my ever building pile of scraps, the Project…

This next project I want to share with you is such a great scrapbuster! I saw a quilt like it at my friend's mother's house and knew it would be such a fun project so I just had to make one too! Here's a brief description of how to make this beginner-friendly quilt: 1. Gather a bunch of 4-1/2" wide scraps (they can be any length you want). I cut mine anywhere from 1-1/2" to about 5-6" in length. 2. Sew them into one long strip. Press the seam allowances open. 3. Cut that strip into 4-1/2"…

For a couple of months now, I have been trying to land on a block design for my next Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt. There were some types of fabric scraps I really wanted to focus on so I needed a block that had spaces for them. I wanted to clean out some scraps with multiple colors and low volumes that had a lot of color in them. I finally found a block that was going to work perfectly for what I wanted (thanks to Cathy and Diann). My blocks look very different than theirs because they are…

Today we are going to be making a Staggered Bricks Quilt. These quilts are a timeless classic with their simple yet striking design. Having the 'bricks' arranged in an offset pattern gives the impression of a brick wall. And the beauty of this quilt is that you can create unique designs depending on the number of fabrics you choose. We went with 7 different fabrics but you use just 2 or you could even make every block a different fabric, which is a great way to use up your scraps. Imagine…

Liberty Crossroads Quilt by Anorina Morris I've had a quilt idea brewing in my head since Christmas. I have some Liberty fabric stashed away, that I'd wanted to use. There's really no point hoarding it away forever, so I cut up some of it into 5" squares. I was going to make a simple quilt with the squares alternating with solid squares. That plan changed slightly, and I'm very pleased with the route it's taken. Earlier this week, I shared the scrappy crossroads block as a part of the…
