"My 'Twirling at the Disco' quilt was an idea I had to use up some of my 2.5" scrap fabric squares. The block finishes up at 16" square and is quite simple to make. You can gather and trim up your scraps to make 2.5" squares, or you can definitely use a jelly roll (or two) to make your quilt. I am very pleased to be sharing the details on how to make these lovely scrappy blocks."

Holy cow, I like this one from Pinterest (Russian sewist). Do you save photos of quilts you'd like to try? This one would be great for reducing my scrap bin overflow. 95% of my scraps are 2.5" wide strips. Smaller strips I give to my friend Jerry, the rug guy. This Russian artist's quilt I like the variety of color and pattern, "fits me to a T". (Where did that expression come from, I'd like to know). The Light and dark cornerstones are deliberate--and that is something that peaks my…
