Halloween Strip Quilt Tutorial

One of my go-to ways to make a quilt is to buy a roll of 2.5" pre-cut fabric strips and make a strip quilt.

Today I am sharing my method of making these simple quilts that are great Halloween movie watching quilts, or even when you need a fast gift for someone.

Let Them Be Little Panel Quilt Pattern

One of the things we added to the "Let Them Be Little" Collection are these large scale panels that can be used in so many ways. They are great to cut up and use in smaller projects but also make for fast (but amazing-looking) cheater quilts! They can be long-arm quilted or hand-quilted or even tied up to make the perfect blankets for so many! For this quilt panel we just had Melissa from Sew Shabby Quilting do some custom long-arm quilting on it and it turned out so cute! I  LOVE the red ... View the Post
