Do you have some Jelly Rolls or a bunch of strips put aside that you aren’t sure just what to do with? Perhaps you are a new quilter looking for a simple and effective pattern to get started on. It sounds like you need a good strip quilt pattern! We looked at nine strip quilt patterns to bust your stash last week. Let’s take a look at some more of those today.
What is a strip quilt?
Generally there are two different types. The first is exactly what it sounds like: longs strips of fabric sewn together into rows to create a quilt top. This is a great beginner project and the perfect way to use up those fabrics that have large scale prints or feature special panels/borders. Below, check out these five strip quilt patterns available right here on Bluprint! Be sure to click on the photo or the source underneath the link to view the pattern.

The second version of strip quilts is quite different, it actually refers to a technique. Thinner strips of fabric are sewn together and then subcut into different sizes. These smaller pieces are then rearranged and sewn together into the new layout to create a quilt top. Strip quiit patterns tend to be a quick project since quite a bit of the cutting and piecing is done in these long strips. If each strip and piece was cut individually, it would take a lot more time. Are you interested in trying strip piecing? Here are a few eye-catching patterns! Be sure to click on the photo or the source underneath the link to view the pattern.
