Scrappy Brick Quilt

 Good morning!

I have another scrap-buster quilt

to share with you today.

It's a brick-style quilt.  Have you made one of those before?

It was my first time doing one and you can't 

get any easier than this pattern right here!

I was using up scraps leftover from my Kaleidoscope quilt

which you can see HERE.  I ended up cutting some more rectangles

from my stash and scraps to make it a little bigger though.  

I cut 3" x 9" for the main rectangles and 3" x 4-3/4" rectangles for the half-rectangles.

The finished size of this quilt is 43" x 53" but you could make it any size you want!

I think this size would be perfect for a baby, toddler, or lap quilt.

 Because my quilt top was wider than 40" (and you need extra backing fabric for longarm quilting) 

I decided to go with this 60" wide chambray fabric for the back.  It's called Robert Kaufman Chambray Union 5 Point Dot.  I didn't want to piece the back for such a small quilt so this was a great way to go.  I love the little design on it!

The labels are from Everemblem.

I get the 2" cotton, fold-over, sew-in labels.

If you go to their site, you'll have to pick a cotton label 

and customize it from there.  I've loved the ease of these labels.

Now I don't have an excuse to not label my quilts!

I love this gold and rust stripe fabric that I used

for the binding.  It's the Warp & Weft Moonglow Stitch Suede by

Alexia Marcelle Abegg for Ruby Star Society.

Jen Ostler in Highland, Utah quilted it for me.

The design she used is called Terracotta and I've used

it quite a few times.  I really like that panto for a

nice, basic, overall pattern.  Jen did a fantastic job as usual!

I love a super easy, fast, scrap-buster pattern, don't you?

I'm really happy with the way this turned out

and would definitely make this pattern again.

I hope this inspired you to use up some of your scraps.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy quilting!
