Simple Strip HST block quilt using 2 1/2 inch STRIPS! 8th in our series to use leftover strips!

Eighth 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 some additional fabric for the background. It can be just one fabric or a variety of fabrics that are the same color. Look for a tone on tone or small volume print to let the strips be the star of the quilt. I needed 1 1/3 yard for the baby quilt you will see in the video. The pattern calls for 2 1/4 yard of white fabric (along with the jelly roll) to make a 66 1/2 inch by 66 1/2 inch quilt top. 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, “Let’s Dance“ by Zen Chic. Both links are the same exact pattern. The only difference is the colors used on the cover. OR
