Simple Four Patch Block Quilt using 2 1/2 inch STRIPS! 9th in our series to use leftover strips!

- Ninth project in a series using 2 1/2 inch strips to make scrappy quilts! This pattern was designed for a jelly roll but leftover 2 1/2 inch strips will work just as easily!
This pattern does call for two additional fabric for the background and cornerstones. I highly recommend one fabric for the background setting/border fabric and one fabric for the cornerstones to match the main strip color you pick. Look for a tone on tone or small volume print to let the strips be the star of the quilt. The pattern calls for 2 1/2 yards of the background setting and border fabric and a fat eighth of the cornerstone fabric. The finished size of the quilt was 67 x 67" This pattern is easy to enlarge or make smaller! I do mention some alternate color way ideas in the video.
Here is the link to the pattern used in the video, "Quadrangle" by Moda. This pattern is one of the many Project Jelly Roll patterns they have available online for free!

Stay to the end to see finished quilt which includes the pieced binding and see what the backing is!
There is also another update on the 2 1/2 inch scrap bucket situation!
I've challenged myself to do a new project each month using only 2 1/2 inch strips from my scrap buckets. I have always saved leftover strips from projects and cut up small leftover fabric from yardage into 2 1/2 inch strips and put them in a bucket for some "future" project . The future is now! It is time to tame the scrap bucket and use up these strips. I'll always have a scrap bucket of strips because I'm constantly adding to it but I want to get it down to just ONE bucket instead of three...make that seven after the "GREAT SORTING"! This series will last until I'm down to one bucket. Let's be honest, it will take at least 2 years to use up enough strips to make a difference! So join me on this project adventure to use up fabric scraps!
If you don't have leftover strips from other projects to make scrappy quilts, cut up fabrics in your stash into 2 1/2" strips to make the project. No stash of fabric? Head to your local quilt shop and buy a jelly roll or some very pretty fabric to cut into strips! Shop owners are more than happy to help you find the perfect fabric, don't be shy, ask for help if you need it!

I really wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos! I have been quilting for more than 35 years and I still learn new stuff from you. I think you are a fantastic teacher. Keep up the good work
Your fabric cutting is super efficient. You are a great teacher. And fun to watch. Thank you.😊
Thank you so much!
I totally agree. Your shortcuts are very helpful.
I love this series. It’s so relaxing to watch you sew. Keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Really enjoying your videos! No frills, no excessive side chatter, just great tips, tricks, clear instructions, and beautiful quilts 😊
Your tips add so much extra value to your tutorials. Thank you for this series. I love it.
Really pretty quilt. Your voice is very calm and soothing. Thanks for no music!
Thank you for another fabulous 2 1/2" strips project. Love the comment about a galloping horse; we are all too hard on ourselves - it's a hobby!
OMG, I have been hanging out for this series update. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy!
Love, love, love this series!
My 1st quilt was completely free form , I didn't measure any of my squares or trim them, just made them and sewed rows, I used a twin sheet as a self binding back. and only had 1 dart in the quilt when I was done. Then I watched youtube and learned making each square the same size and trimming and squaring up. Love it as it's a memory quilt and continues my grandmother's quilting tradition.
These 2-1/2 strip videos are my favorite. Love this pattern. Thank you for sharing!!
Your tutorials are fantastic, you are very clear on each step, and your voice is so calming. Thank you !
In ride the galloping horse frequently. I quilt for enjoyment and try not to stress about some things. Thank you for all the tutorials.❤️
Thank you so much for this series. Love it.
Love scrappy quilts and your tutorials are awesome! Thank you.
"As Quilters...."
Please believe this, this is a UNIVERSAL symptom for EVERY type of crafter, builder, artist or artisan.
Fabrege probably looked at his eggs and said "WHY did I use THOSE stones?"
This is the kind of scrappy quilt I like. It’s beautiful!
Great cutting and assembly tips! Thanks!
Thank you for all the scrap ideas. 😊 Hope you feeling 100%!
My favorite quilt so far with the strips! Thank you for the videos, they are great!
So pretty and I really love the scrappy binding! Such a good way to use up leftover fabrics!
Thanks so much! 😊
Very helpful tips. Thank you 💫
You're so welcome!
I look forward to each one of your 2 1/2” strips series. You have wonderful ideas and great tips. Thank you so much.
Love the idea of marking the length you need w/ painters tape, never thought of that… Thanks

So love all your ideas for 2 1/2 strips❤❤❤❤

I admire people who can work on the floor. I am too old for that now.
I truly love your tutorials especially in this series.
Thank you so much!
Realy really pretty.
I love these scrap tutorials. Thank you for sharing.

Yes! I have drawers upon drawers of scraps! But this has some very small pieces

Love the idea of using the painters tape. Thank you for a great tutorial.
That is an easy beautiful quilt.
I made this quilt last year and I love it
What a delight to watch how this beautiful quilt came together. I'm trying to work through my scraps also, and make one scrappy quilt a month this year.❤
Wonderful!
Very impressive goal 🍄🍄
This was a great tutorial. Thank you ❤
All quilts in this series look gorgeous.
Loved this one, it came out great ❤
Great use of scraps. I love your videos. Thanks
Love these videos for scraps!
Love your tutorials. Thank you for the video 😊
If you don't snip he first column apart, you can web piece each block, keeping it all together, nothing out of place. Then turn all blocks and sew across remaining seams.
I like the tip about the galloping horse!!
Looks fantastic
Lovely quilt!! Your tutorial is excellent…thank you for sharing!
❤beautiful and such good instructions 😊
I love it. So simple, yet so pretty
Thank you! 😊
Another beauty! I am really enjoying this series!
Lovely quilt.
Thank you.
Yay! So fun and so easy to change the size if you have more (or less - haha) scraps. Love it!
Merci beaucoup de partager vos idees love from FRANCE
This is so pleasing looking!
Great tutorial. Love your tips
Beautiful quilt! Thank you for another great scrap busting pattern. I think I will also use this method modified to a 3 x 3 grid to use up my ever-growing stack of 5” squares, maybe with 2” sashing. I make many grandkids’ quilts and foster quilts and cut leftovers into 2.5” strips and 5” squares. The scraps then become more grandchild and foster quilts. 😅. So many scraps!!! Looking forward to trying this one out.
So pretty, I ❤ it and sure one day I’ll make it. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks for sharing your scrap quilt ideas with us.
I love how the greens are all different, while the quilt just reads as green. Very pretty!
I like to put pieced sashing strips around the outside of the quilt before adding a border.
Great idea. I’ll try this with my scraps.
It’s a great quilt
Love this! Thank you!❤😊
Once again, this one is great! I especially like the way the darks and lights come together, making a really interesting and lovely quilt! Well done!
Love this quilt pattern. Scrap busting inspiration for sure!
Love the blue painter tape tip for quick easy measurements . Love your videos
Love this project! The finished look is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful color combo. Love this quilt.
I just love it! Great job
I can’t believe such a beautiful quilt was made from just scraps! Green is my favorite colour ❤❤ I love that I’m not the only one that uses the floor for my “design wall” ! 😂
This is such a lovely quilt. I think I will be making it before too long. Thanks.
I am currently making a quilt for a young friend using left over pink and purple jelly rolls. This is a perfect how-to! thank you!
