Two New Scrap Projects

Last Updated on March 6, 2017 by Connie 22 Comments

Yesterday I did a review on the book Scrappy Fat Quarter Quilts and I couldn’t resist starting a couple new quilts. There was so many neat designs in the book but these two quilts looked perfect for my scraps. Do I need more quilts…..more projects……no, but that has never stopped me before! These may take some time to make as they will be my “in-betweeners”. Both quilts are in their own box so I can pull one of them out at a moments notice whenever I want a break from my current quilt.

The first one is called Trail Marker designed by Ashley Newcomb.

I am going to use a combination of batiks and neutral prints in my stash. Since this is a long term project I printed out a photo of the quilt and information that will be kept with the pieces.Scrappy Fat Quarter Quilts
The blocks are very easy to make.

I have a ways to go on this quilt, I have a lot of brown batiks so I think I will make all of my blocks with browns and neutrals.Scrappy Fat Quarter Quilts

Update: I ended up finishing my project using the Trail Marker pattern and made a table runner with it, be sure and check it out!

When I saw Barbed Wire by Liz Porter my eyes immediately noticed the beautiful black print that I had in my stash and knew it would be perfect for this quilt.

I also have many, many half square triangles that I have cut from leftovers with my AccuQuilt 2″ finished HST die so I just cut the pieces I needed from my black print and got to work!

It was really fun to put some of the sections together so I could get an idea of what the quilt will look like with my stash fabrics.

Since this will be another project that gets worked on a little here….and a little there…..I cut out all of the black pieces and at least one of each section needed. Then I just pinned little notes to them. This keeps my projects organized and easy to grab and work on.

Update: Be sure to take a look at my Barbed Wire quilt blog post and see what I did with these pieces!

Did you know if you buy a quilt book from Martingale you also get a e-book when you order a print version. You can find Scrappy Fat Quarter Quilts at: Martingale.

    I sure wish I had your organizational skills. I'm going to do better this year! Those are two really cute quilts that you have picked out. Look forward to seeing them both.

    I have a box of 2.5" HSTs ready for a new project. Thanks for reminding me about "Barbed Wire" which I post-it-marked a long time ago. But meanwhile, the arrow-head design is inspiring!

    The Fons & Porter quilt has been on my bucket list for quite some time. Someday (probably not this year) I'll sort all those bonus triangles, trim them, and make it. …someday. I love how you show yours going together.

    I especially LOVE that Barbed Wire quilt. I also have quite a few HST collected. Many of those were made from trimmed triangles when making flying geese. This is a great idea. And I could imagine just about any color used for the chevrons in between.

    Starting a new project is the best – especially a scrappy quilt.

    There must be something in the air. I have spent the last week cutting up my scraps for some new quilts. I guess the new year gets us inspired! Love what you are doing.

    I really like both of those. Good idea to include a copy of the pattern with the fabric. I have a couple of "projects" where I gathered all the fabric but can't remember what it was supposed to be used for.

    Beautiful Quilts, I think I'd like to make the first one. It looks simple and fast and that suits me. I'd like to get more quilts done this year.

    I wish I would be that organized… it's the best way to work on multiple projects at once and avoid frustration!
