"Doodle Stamp" is a great stash buster. Use up your scraps to make this wonderful quilt. Quilt squares ( 2 1/2" squares) are slightly bigger than the traditional postage stamp quilt for ease of piecing. Finished size of each square is 2".

What was your inspiration?
My sister gives me a bag of scraps everytime I see you and I wanted to make a quilt without going to the quilt shop to purchase fabric. I challenged myself to only use what I had in my studio. I cut all of the 2 1/2" colored fabric squares using the scraps my sister had given me.
What are you most proud of?
I am pleased that I made this quilt only using my stash and my sister's scraps. So don't throw those scraps away! If it's big enough to cut a 2 1/2" square, save it for this project.
I'm also really happy with the lazy daisy quilting pattern I quilted on this quilt.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Do not let all of the cutting of the squares overwhelm you. The end result is well worth all of the cutting. Everything is based on 2 1/2". So you could do this quilt with a few precut jelly rolls.
