There is something so satisfying about a quilt that pulls double duty as a beautiful project and as a friendly excuse to dig deep into the scrap bin. In this video, Revelation Quilts walks us through her Scrappy EX quilt tutorial, a bold, graphic design built around X-shaped blocks that come to life with all those mismatched bits of fabric you have been quietly hoarding. It is the kind of tutorial that makes you want to wipe down your cutting mat and get going right away.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- A clear, friendly walkthrough of the X block. She takes you through the cutting and piecing step by step, so even if you have never tackled a corner-style X block before, you finish the video feeling like you know exactly what to do.
- A truly scrap-friendly design. The blocks happily welcome all sorts of prints and colours, which makes this a lovely project for using up those leftover strips and squares without having to match anything too carefully.
- A bold, modern finish without fancy techniques. The graphic X layout looks striking on a finished quilt while leaning entirely on straight piecing, which makes it a great option for confident beginners.
Would you go fully wild and colourful with your scraps, or would you tame the X blocks into a calmer palette with one quiet background? Tell us in the comments how you would style your own version.
