Scrappy Brick Quilt

Tuesday, October 10, 2023

 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  
and I got it from Sewtopia in Salt Lake City.  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
Sewtopia in SLC as well. 


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!

  4. So would this be jelly roll friendly? If so how many jelly rolls would you need for this quilt?

  5. Love your quilt. I know you cut your blocks a little bigger but could this be done with a jelly roll? Tx!
