I want to make my quilt scrappy. How do I do that?
The pattern has diagrams for each block with the measurements of each piece labeled, so you can easily figure out what size scraps you need for the blocks. If you plan to make your quilt very scrappy, you can pull a variety of background fabrics and dark fabrics for each block from your stash in the sizes needed.
But if you'd like to make each block from the same two fabrics (for a scrappy quilt with a plan), here are the basic fabric requirements:
- Each Plus Block needs at least: 5" square OR 2.5x10" strip background; 5x6.5" rectangle OR 2.5x11.5" strip main color
- Each Dot Block needs at least: 5x9" rectangle OR 2.5x18" strip background; 2.5" square main color
- Each Star Block needs at least: 5.5x8" rectangle OR 2x22" strip background; 4x7.5" rectangle main color
