Strippy Spools Quilt
The Strippy Spools quilt is a fun quilt project for confident beginners and seasoned quilters alike. The pattern offers two size options:
- Lap Size: 53.5″ x 66.5″
- Twin Size: 70.5″ x 82.5″
You can find the Strippy Spools Quilt Pattern at Fat Quarter Shop.
Berry Market Fabrics
I choose the Berry Market Rolie Polie by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs. I just love the colors and prints in her collection. Along with the 40 – 2 1/2 inch strips I also picked up yardage as I wasn’t sure what I wanted to use as my “spool” fabric. I also used white Bella solid for my background fabric.
I ended up choosing the light blue print for my quilt binding.
Strippy Spools Quilt Outside
Our weather has been hot and humid. You definitely don’t need to cover up with a quilt today!
Rusty was sweet enough to pose with my quilt.
Quilt on a Fence
I always like to hang my quilts outside on our fence and of course little Rusty is such a trooper about posing.
Caught Rusty with his eyes closed!
Twin Size Strippy Spools Quilt
I made the twin size quilt that is 70 1/2 x 82 1/2 and you are seeing it here on a full size bed. Have you taken part in the QAL? If so, I would love to see your quilt.
Rusty
While taking photos of my quilt, I snapped this cute one of Rusty. Everyone who visits us loves him. Have a great day from Rusty and me!

Spool quilt looks like Summer on a Bed
I love that quilt! The fabrics are so pretty. It looks like Rusty highly approves too. Stay cool!
Your quilt turned out beautifully!! Of course, Rusty just makes the picture pop. He is such a pretty dog.
Love the quilt and love Rusty!
Gorgeous! Great work! Have a great summer!
Love the photos of Rusty. He has become a regular little ham, but now he looks as though he is thoroughly enjoying himself.

A beautiful quilt with lovely colours and a superb design.
Connie, thank you for sharing your patchworking talent.
Rusty never ceases to amaze me with how he poses and looks genuinely happy to be on show. He certainly is a wonderful addition to your family.
The strippy spools quilt is beautiful! Rusty knows the routine. He’s become a great model. The last picture is so sweet.
Rusty is being a real ham, love it! Your quilt is great too:)
