Take the challenge?

Have fun and make a quilt in no time at all;  here's how:

Raid your scrap  stash:   this can be colour sorted (as mine was) OR just anything that goes together;  cut it all into 2 ½” wide strips - any length will do.

Valerie used cotton fabrics, but anything would do - just remember that different fabrics behave differently against each other.

Join them together in one LONG piece with a 45degree angle join - it looks prettier;  however if you have a couple or three short pieces of the same fabric these could be joined with the usual straight seam.

Join sufficient pieces together to make the quilt you want - you will be ending up with approx 2" wide strips across your quilt x ? 40inches maybe?

Load up your sewing machine with thread;  get a couple of bobbins prepared;  settle down with your favourite music (you can put ours on mute!) and enjoy.

(P.S. do send us pics of what you made!)
