made by Lizzi Whizz‘Scrapbuster’ blocks will look great in a table runner. While still using left overs, choose scraps that go together well, and alternate with another block of your choice. It’s a creative way to use bright, bold prints, and use up small pieces. The most important aspects are to have an accurate 1/4″ seam allowance, and iron and measure between each row.

Corey Yoda of Coriander Quilts created ‘Scrapbuster 2’ block to be used by itself or in conjunction with her original Scrapbuster Block. Similar in design, however Corey mentions, even though the sashings are different, they would make a great quilt together. A delightful block using 1 1/2″ squares.

Both of Coreys Scrapbuster quilt blocks are available as a free pattern. The tutorials cover all instructions, plus tips such as nesting seams correctly, and minding that scant quarter inch seam.
