Chippewa Scrap Quilt

I made a dent in my scrap bin! Yeah right. But I did put some of my scraps to use and made this quilt…aptly named after our street. You know you’re out of clever quilt names when you start naming them after streets.

This one is about 44” square. A perk of having my 7 year old home all summer is he can hold up quilts for pictures…and he’s easily bribed with gum.

I drew this one out in my old school graph paper notebook. It’s still the best way to play with ideas and figure out patterns. :) If there’s interest I’ll post my measurements when I finish the quilt…I think it makes such a unique/modern baby quilt!

Plus using up scraps is always a great…so I can buy more fabric…and make more scraps. ;)
