My New Obsession...

So today I thought I would do a tutorial for you. I want to show you this highly addictive beginner quilting project. You do not need all the supplies a normal quilt might require. I did not invent this but wanted to share it my way :)

You will need:
Scrap fabric
Sheets/ Dryer sheets any big fabric you no longer need
Sewing machine
Iron

First you want to decide on your colors, for this tut I decided to just do random scraps nothing specific. Then take those and cut into strips, now this really not hard but make some longer at least long enough to go diagonal across the size of square you want. Now get to cutting...

As you can see your strips dont need to be perfect or straight or equal length etc. It is so fun to start from imperfections and it ends so beautiful! 

Second you will want to take your sheets or dryer sheets whatever you have chosen for the foundation of your squares (you will not see this)

Pick a color for centers of squares. I like to keep the center line uniform through all squares so I use white. In the end this will create a great design.

Now that you have some scraps take the center color and lay it in the center of the square next lay the color you want next to that on top on the white face down and sew along those lines.

   

Now Iron that open 

Keep repeating for that side of the center line 

Halfway there :) 

Now repeat the same steps for the opposite side 

Now you have a square covered in scraps!

This is my favorite part! You will turn over your square and cut all the excess scraps off

Now you can see how pretty it is! 

These are so addicting and go so fast! And since we are leaving the foundation piece it will make such a warm lovely quilt! 

As soon as I get a few more squares I will post the different variations of placement with these!
