Bright and White Scraps Sew A Postage Stamp Quilt

Pile Up Scrappy Squares

Therapy stitching as the placements are mindless while the quilt blocks plie up! A postage stamp quilt needing just 1 1/2 inch squares is a great way to get rid of small pieces of fabric. Strip piece units or cut squares and sew together for an extra scappy adventure.

Strip piecing saves time needing fabric strips of just 1 /1/2 inch. Find left over strips and start stitching. Cut 1 1/2 inch squares from smaller pieces and put them in a ziplock bag.
