How to make a 3D scrappy quilt square …

April 17, 2009 16 Comments by Kirsty

You might remember I purchased this quilt from the antique shop a couple of weeks ago.

I had a really good look at the construction & now I’m making my own squares. I won’t say for sure they going to turn into a quilt because the big granny project is driving me nuts!

Anyway, I thought you might like to make your own. It’s really easy, quick & fun.

I’ve made a really naff video as a how to. I warn you it’s pretty bad – I won’t get a gig on TV but I thought some of you might enjoy the “accent”. You probably only need to watch the first 5 seconds & you’ll get the idea.

The square I’m making in the video uses the scraps from the Rummage Obi & Skirt I made. The project & 25 others in Meet Me at Mikes book by Pip.

Happy weekend.

Great simple tutorial. I love the look of randome fabrics inyour vintage version. Doing it all in one fabric is a completely different look, and one I wouldn’t have thought of. Thanks for sharing.

And your accent sounds really normal!

I of course think that your accent is entirely normal. It’s a great tute Kirsty – I’ll be giving it a go – and I particularly like the idea of doing one block per project. What width strips are you using?

Great video Kirsty!
It will be amazing at the end of the year when you have all of your squares made from scraps.
After listening to your sewing machine, I think mine desperately needs some help from the sewing machine man!
