This Scrappy Quilt Was Made From Plaid Shirts
Easily Adjust the Size and Make Your Own Scrappy Quilt!
Delectable Mountain blocks offer so many design possibilities. We’re perhaps most familiar with the traditional layout similar to the one show here in these scrap versions (notice that these blocks are oblong instead of square).
The vivid blues and other colors in this lap version are simply stunning. Plaid fabrics from recycled shirts add another layer of detail and interest.
This bed sized version in softer colors is just as beautiful.
Both quilts are pieced entirely from scraps. You’ll have fun going through your leftover fabrics to make your own unique version. Or, choose a large variety of layer cake squares, fat quarters or yardage. You can also cut apart old shirts as was done in the first quilt shown above.
Whatever fabric styles and colors you choose will be great in this quilt. Go as bold or soft as you like.
