I found one strip of this wonderful animal print in a thrift store scrap bag. The blue and green solids all came from different bags, but they went together so I kitted it all up and waited for inspiration. There was such a limited amount of the animal print and I didn't want any of it to go to waste...
The Flexi Strip Baby Quilt Tutorial from Sew in Peace was exactly the idea I needed. It calls for three strips of the focus fabric, but I worked with what I had, squaring up the animal print and making the rest of the quilt to work around that piece.

Love how you adapted the pattern to use what you had. I love the end result.
ReplyDeleteYou find the best fabric at thrift shops. I never do....
ReplyDeleteTrevor is one cute quilt. Thanks for the link.
that's a great looking blanket! love the way you made the whole strip of your precious fabric work. i used to have a little piece of this Alexander Henry print in a pink colourway, i know its charm and know exactly what you mean by not wanting to waste any of it.
