Scrap Basket Destash Complementary Quilt Along

Are your scraps over flowing their containers and taking over your studio space?  If yes, join me for my Scrap Basket Destash Quilt Along.

On the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month I will be posting the instructions for one step of this project on my blog.

Follow me @modernblendedquilts on Instagram and my Facebook page, Modern Blended Quilts to receive notifications of the posting new step for this project.  If you would prefer an email notification for the post, enter your email address on this blog.

There is no pattern to purchase, all instructions are complementary can be downloaded from this blog in the link below.

With the exception of your choice for a Solid fabric, the goal for this project is to be a scrap basket destash project.  You will need 1.25 meters of Solid fabric for the quilt top and binding.  You might even have the perfect Solid fabric in your stash!

The construction of this quilt is ideal for a "longer length" leaders and enders project.  Cut out the project and construct it as you chain piece your current quilt project - thus eliminating threat waste on a fabric "pig" or "bunny tail.

As you are working through the steps, be sure to tag your posts on Instagram and Facebook #scrapbasketquiltalong.

Scrap Basket Quilt Along Introduction

Here is a subset of my fabric choices, my solid is Kona Wasabi.

Rail in a Rail - It's Done

I am excited to share with you my latest pattern - Rail in a Rail!  This is not your traditional fence rail quilt.  Inset small patterned rails into larger monochromic rails and you have the "Rail in a Rail" cover quilts.  Build on your strip piecing skills create this stunning quilt.

The pattern includes the instructions to complete a square 42" baby quilt or a 72" lap quilt.  In my house all lap quilts have to be big enough to share.  The baby quilt is also the perfect size for a table topper or wall quilt.

This pattern continues my quest to bring together traditional and modern quilting genres.  In the cover quilts, I have combined traditional quilting techniques with modern colors and design.  Lets take a closer look at the cover quilts.

The teal tones of the smaller quilt highlight the design of the rails.  The colors just make me smile.  I seem to have a teal theme of late for many of my quilt works in progress.  

My son, Daley has already claimed the grey lap quilt.  In fairness, I did suggest it would look lovely on a grey toned couch.  So as he keeps reminding me, this one is destined for his home one day.

Hope you like my latest work!
