If you have a little stash of leftover two and a half inch strips gathering quietly in a drawer, this one is going to make you smile. In this video from Quiltin Stitchin and Kitties, she takes those leftover strips, along with partial fat quarters and all the odd little pieces we tend to hold onto, and turns them into a really fun quilt. Best of all, it is an improvised adventure, so there is no strict pattern to follow, just the joy of making it up as you go.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- A joyful use for leftover strips. Rather than letting those odd strips and partial pieces pile up, she gathers them together and gives them a whole new life as a quilt full of character.
- A relaxed, improvised approach. There is no rigid plan to keep to here, just a happy, freeing way of working where each choice leads naturally to the next.
- A fresh way to use what you already have. It is such a lovely reminder that the makings of your next quilt might already be tucked away in your stash, simply waiting to be played with.
What do you do with your leftover strips and little pieces, save them for a rainy day or dive straight into an improv project? I would love to hear in the comments.
