Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Scrap Quilting »

Instructions

Save scraps from other projects. This is a good way to use them up.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Infant/Baby

Style: Casual, Cute


Materials

Scraps leftover from another baby quilt (Pinwheel Polka).

What was your inspiration?

I had so many scraps left from the Pinwheel Polka quilt from the class "Quick Strip Paper Piecing" and the phonebook quilt was the perfect way to use them up.

What are you most proud of?

Getting two quilts from the same fabric that I thought would only make one.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

If you're wondering what to do with all those leftover strips and pieces, this is the project to use. It's fairly quick to piece and it's easy to do.

Thanks so much. It's hard to tell in the picture but the light blue border fabric has little dots of color the same as the colors in the quilt.

Fabulous quilt. Love the colour contrasts and the border really sets it off.

Thank you! Fortunately, I had enough of the border fabric left from the other quilt.

This is a beauty. You have an excellent understanding of contrast within the patchwork and yet the quiet grey-blue border is just the thing to set all the brighter colors off-way to go.

Thank you so much. I really enjoyed your class! Now I think I'd like to try the puss in the corner quilt. I will definately be making more of these phonebook quilts.
