Simple Block Quilt using 2 1/2 inch STRIPS! Second in a series of projects to use your strip stash!

Second project in a series using 2 1/2 inch strips to make scrappy quilts! These videos will be a great guide to making beautiful, scrappy quilts. My goal is to use up some of the strips that have accumulated in my lifetime of quilting!

One block is made of an "A" Set and a "B" Set. Each block will use about 1 1/2 strips.
"A" Sets are made from one fabric strip and include: one square 2 1/2" x 2 1/2", two rectangles 2 1/2" x 6 1/2", and two rectangles 2 1/2" x 10 1/2".

"B" Sets are made from a different fabric than "A" and include: two squares 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" and two rectangles 2 1/2" x 6 1/2".

Make as many blocks as you like using any color combination that you like! Imagine it in Halloween Fabrics! Oh no...now I want to make another one using Halloween fabrics!

Baby quilt: 40" x 50", 4 x 5 setting, 20 blocks uses 30 strips or around 2 1/4 yards of fabric
Kid quilt: 50" x 70", 5 x 7 setting, 35 blocks uses 53 strips or around 3 3/4 yards of fabric
Lap quilt: 60" x 80", 6 x 8 setting, 48 blocks uses 72 strips or around 5 yards of fabric
Twin quilt: 70" x 90", 7 x 9 setting, 63 blocks uses 95 strips or around 6 3/4 yards of fabric
Double quilt: 80" x 100", 8 x 10 setting, 80 blocks uses 120 strips or around 8 1/3 yards of fabric
Queen quilt: 90" x 110", 9 x 11 setting, 99 blocks uses 148 strips or around 10 1/2 yards of fabric
King quilt: 120" x 120", 12 x 12 setting, 144 blocks uses 216 strips or around 15 yards of fabric

1 jelly roll will make a baby size quilt.
2 jelly rolls will make a kid or lap size quilt.
3 jelly rolls will make a twin or double size quilt.
4 jelly rolls will make a queen size quilt.
6 jelly rolls will make a king size quilt.

This block was first shared in our May 2022 Block of the Month as a bonus block. See the link below for the original video.

   • BLOCK #5 for our 2022 Block of the Mo...  

I've challenged myself to do a new project each month using only 2 1/2 inch strips from my scrap buckets. I have always saved leftover strips from projects and cut up small leftover fabric from yardage into 2 1/2 inch strips and put them in a bucket for some "future" project . The future is now! It is time to tame the scrap bucket and use up these strips. I will ALWAYS have a scrap bucket of strips because I'm constantly adding to it but I want to get it down to just ONE bucket instead of three! This series will last until I'm down to one bucket. Let's be honest, it will take at least 2 years to use up enough strips to make a difference! So join me on this project adventure to use up fabric scraps!
