TQC Journal | issue 59


Lets have a little end of summer fun and make a quilt together.
This project will be full of simple blocks and will be great to use
up some of the favorites that are filling your scrap basket. 
Here are a few of the important details. 

Summer Scrap Basket Sew Along
Finished Quilt  |   Approximately 21" x 23"
Finished Blocks  |  2-1/2" square 

Fabric Requirements
A variety of light, medium and dark prints
1/4 yard tan print
1/4 yard brown stripe

I will be making my quilt in the postholder style.
Check out my other potholder projects here and here
This way I can finish up as I go and I think it adds 
such a fun little detail to a small quilt. 

If you would prefer to do a more traditional setting
I will be providing that information in the finishing
post at the end of the sew along.  

I will be teasing you with all the fun and colorful prints
that make up my next collection Material Madders.
I will start taking pre-orders towards the end of the month.
Material Madders is due to arrive September/October,
take a closer look here. Lets get started!

Summer Scrap Basket Sew Along
= = = Four Patch = = =

Cutting instructions are for one block = Make 6 blocks
From two different prints, cut: 2 squares 1-3/4" x 1 3/4"

Layout squares out in two rows of two. Sew the squares into rows.
Join the rows to make a Four Patch block. Make six blocks
 measuring 3" square, including seam allowances. 

Join the six Four Patch blocks into a horizontal row,
measuring 3" x 15-1/2" long, including seam allowances.

If you are choosing to make your quilt in the potholder style
use this video on finishing a small quilt to hand or machine 
quilt the row and finish up with a single thickness binding. 
I cut my single thickness binding 1-1 /2" and you will need
a whole width of fabric for each row.
