If you have leftover fabric strips - from your stash or quilts that you've made before, the Spinning Ribbons quilt is perfect to make! It's an easy quilt pattern for beginners and really does use any width of strips that you have.
It's kind of similar to a disappearing quilt block in that you will be sewing the block, then cutting it up and then sewing it back together in a new layout.
For this quilt I used seersucker fabric. Someone was using this fabric on the quilt and I absolutely love it. The feel is soft and bumpy and just overall fun to use!
I bought a few pieces from the thrift store and also Ebay. After collecting enough, I started the quilt.
The fabric pieces I bought were cut into strips. I also used a cotton bathrobe as well - so really, any kind of cotton you have would work.
This is a great clothes quilt as well, if you aren't wanting to use the seersucker fabric.
The longer strips were used for the blocks and the leftover cut offs were sewn together to make a piano keys style border.
