Peachy Moda Scrap Bag Quilt
Peachy isn’t the name of the scrap collection, that is just my name for this quilt.
Quilt
This was a Moda Scrap Bag from Green Fairy Quilts. When I purchased the fat quarter bundle called Curated Blooms by Judi Madsen, I also received this beautiful scrap bag. I just loved the colors in it and shared them in this post.
I kept the dark peach stripe to use as my binding but of course I changed my mind by time I was ready to add the quilt binding. Can you see how the dark green really stands out? I should have known not to use it.
Sewing Strips Together
The strips were 2½ inches by the width of the fabric and I picked 4 different ones to sew together for a width of 8½ inches. Here are a few of them.
Wool Pressing Mats
I am so happy with my large ironing table and both of the Merino Wool pressing mats, I like being able to spread things out.
8 Inch Squares
From the peach batik I cut 8½ inch wide strips the width of the fabric and then sewed this peach strip to one side of the set of 4 – 2½ inch strips.
Strip Tube Blocks
When I started to make the blocks, I was going to make them like my Peachy Cream table runner. I made one row of blocks and decided I didn’t like it. Of course I forgot to take a picture but you can see it here at the top of my finished quilt. The blocks were smaller so I added a spacer fabric in the center of the row.
Dark Green
I decided I preferred making simple square blocks instead. Ugh….see that dark green? It has to go!
First Quilt Idea
I thought about making rows in a design like this. I kind of like it and may do it with another set of 2½ inch strips.
Quilt Idea I Like
There is nothing better than a fast and easy quilt! Here is the way I decided to make the quilt. Of course I still had to remove the dark green and also the dark peach.
My Finished Quilt
I had enough fabric to make 6 rows of 6 blocks which made a square quilt. I didn’t want to waste the first blocks and by adding them I ended up with the quilt being 10 inches taller so my quilt was 46 inches by 54 inches.
I ended up using the peach batik for the binding so I still have the dark peach strip for another quilt project.
What do you think?
Lap Quilt
46 inch by 54 inch is a great size for a lap quilt or a baby quilt.
Quilting
I quilted this on my Noltings long arm and used a premium white muslin on the back. The batting is a Hobbs 80/20 cotton.
Quilting
Here is another view of the quilt. If I would have added a 3 or 4 inch border the quilt would have looked beautiful in here. Now it is time to throw it in the wash and give it that crinkly look.
I also just went to Green Fairy Quilts and ordered 2 more Moda Scrap Bags that are 50% off.

I’m sorry Rusty is hurt. Poor baby! 😢. Is there a way to fix him, or no? 🩵😢
I love this quilt! I want some peach fabric like that. You said it was Moda? Terry
Happy birthday! I hope Rusty feels better soon.
I also love this site because of the links to other quilting sites. I love Moda and Fabric Quarters. Love seeing all of the ideas for colors and placement too.
Hi Connie,
Once again I have to compliment you on your choice and placement of each color! I am becoming more adventurous with changing a color way I see on line.
Smooch on Rusty for me.
Your Peachy quilt looks beautiful, & appears easy. Thanks so much for all your videos. You spend a lot of time on all that you make. Weather in TX was warm also, be careful & stay warm & well.
Beautiful quilt. Love the peach background squares which bring the other blocks to life. Good color choice.
Thank you!
