Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Casual, Funky, Cute, Mod


Materials

Red, cream and blue scraps of cotton. Great for using up scraps.

What was your inspiration?

I saw this quilt design in a Coldwater Creek catalog.

What are you most proud of?

I studied the photo and decided it was a simple construction that I could duplicate. I made it for lots less money and had a grand time using up scraps on hand,

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

If you see a quilt pattern that you like study the photo and work out the pattern. It's a good exercise in math and less costly than buying a pattern that you'll probably only use once.

I made it by looking at a photo I saw in a clothing catalog and worked it out. It's made with triangle squares, using scraps of red and off whites for the stripes. The blue field was made of 9 - 4 inch squares the same way.
