This Old House – Finished
My blog posts this year have been minimal, but I’m trying to have a strong finish. Let’s get those blog numbers up with a quilt I took photos of last December. I’m a little behind.
If you like scrap quilts, this is for you. The pattern is simple and uses some smaller scrap pieces, but the finished quilt looks great, IMO. I tried to choose scrap fabrics with colors that all meshed but weren’t too matchy matchy.
To pull it all together I used consistent red, mustard yellow and neutral sashing around each block. I like having that consistent element to offset the scrappy fabrics.
The back of this quilt is also pieced together with scraps. I stuck to a more neutral back but it still complements the front.
As I wrote in my original blog post about this quilt, the fabrics are not my usual choice and lean more traditional, but I really like how it turned out. In fact, I might use this one around the house for a while. Until next time…

I purchased the Inman Park quilt pattern. Can I use 2-1/2 inch strips? Would I have to convert the length of each cut to 3-3/4”? I want to use leftover strips and don’t want to cut 1/2” off of each one.
