#1 FAQ- Where can I find the pattern? If you are feeling confused as to where to find the pattern, you are not alone, because there is no official pattern! I know, annoying. But never fear.
Scrappy Trip is a technique that I learned on Bonnie Hunter's blog Quiltville where she has a tutorial. I have played around with that technique quite a bit because I love it. For this quilt along we are doing a larger block in order to maximize Jelly roll and Fat Quarter sized strips. I first used that technique on my Gooseberry Scrappy Trip. Because the technique was not my idea, I am not going to publish any sort of an official pattern or download for it. But because Bonnie's tutorial is also free, I don't feel bad adapting it and sharing how I do it. Like I mentioned, I have endless tips and tricks on the Scrappy Trip Highlight circle on my Instagram profile.
You can watch a video here to see how to make the blocks:
Scrappy Trip Block Directions
This time I am using Riley Blake fabric- Granny Chic by Lori Holt for the prints, and Confetti Cotton in Sunshine for the background, and an accent diagonal in Riley White. I've not historically been a yellow person but it's really been growing on me the last few years and I'm always down for trying something new. I have high hopes for it!
I've also started a Christmas version, and I may do that instead for the quilt along. I haven't decided!
#2 FAQ- How much fabric do I need?
This part is flexible. You can mix and match according to your needs.
Option 1- 1 print Jelly Roll and 1 background Jelly Roll, or 2 print Jelly Rolls
Option 2- 12 FQs of prints and 3 yds background, or 24 FQ prints
You can switch these around, for example, 1 Jelly Roll and 3 yds of background would work, and so would 12 FQs and a background Jelly Roll. Make sense? At the end of the day, you need (160) 2.5" x 21"ish strips of fabric, or (80) 2.5" x WOF (to be cut in half).
This is for a 64" x 80" quilt, 20 blocks total. Your choice whether it has a background like this one, or all prints. I love doing it both ways!

This will be my second quilt along. The first one didn't go so well. I'm hoping this one will be the one! (Queencitymama89 on insta.)
ReplyDeleteCall me excited! I'm hoping to find time in January to follow along and use up my precious scraps for this beauty! Now I need to decide if I want a theme or not...Christmas...Halloween...pastels...red and white....so many choices!

ReplyDeleteIt's good that many students turn to professional letter writers for help, and I don't always hear good things about such services. And I didn’t even think that I would go to such places until I myself faced the task. And my good friend advised me these guys https://essaysrescue.com/educibly-review/ for which I am very grateful to him, since I personally had no problems, the guys approached their work very responsibly. Everything is on time and very cool.
ReplyDeleteAmazing and colourful pattern and ideas..

A lovely and adaptable quilting pattern that encourages creativity and customisation is the Scrappy Trip Quilt. Quilters can create an endlessly creative and dynamic look by utilising scrappy, improvised fabric strips.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to join the Scrappy Trip Quilt Along! It's such a fun way to get creative with fabric scraps and connect with fellow quilters. By the way, if anyone here is also considering abdominoplasty Dubai, I highly recommend Dr. Shahram. His credentials speak for themselves, and his expertise in plastic surgery ensures top-notch care for anyone seeking abdominal contouring in Dubai.
