This is a popular pattern which you do not need to purchase. You can make it up as you go. First, gather a bunch of fabric scraps that compliment each other. These fabrics were all donated by Ingrid.
Then determine what size you want to cut your pieces. I chose 8 1/2 X 4. It doesn't take long to cut everything up using a rotary cutter, mat and ruler.
Do not forget to cut some of the pieces in half, you will need them for the ends on every other row.
Next, start sewing. I chose to make mine 11 full blocks long, which will end up giving me a finished quilt that is roughly 90 inches long. I used my serger because it is really fast. Take care to only cut a tiny bit off the edge when serging.
Next, iron your strips and then sew the strips together.
Before you know it, you are done. This turned out to be about 68 X 90. I wanted to keep this quilt a freebe so I pieced a solid blue back together. I will need to purchase batting with money donated by my Auntie Ve and this one is ready to quilt! It will be so cute when finished.
