Scrappy Strips

Posted on April 1, 2021 by katyquilts

I’ve sewn together all the little strips that I had and trimmed my pieces to the nearest quarter inch. Here they are, widest to narrowest.

I started hunting for inspiration and found a quilt by Mary Elizabeth Kinch in her book, Small Pieces, Spectacular Quilts. Based on that, I took my strips and made blocks.

My blocks are cut 9 1/2 inches, because I had a square ruler that size.

I had some leftover bits which I made into one long strip, 2 1/2 inches wide.

I’ve got an idea for that now too.

Stay tuned.

    Maybe that last strip could be part of an asymmetrical border–just parts of the corners???
