Turn that overflowing bin of fabric scraps into a masterpiece with this scrappy string quilt pattern by Quilty Love! This project is fun, beginner-friendly, and incredibly satisfying, allowing you to transform long, narrow strips into colorful blocks that come together like magic.
The technique uses 8.5-inch foundation squares (like muslin or paper) to stabilize your strips of all shapes and sizes. Because you are working with irregular “strings,” there is no pressure for perfection! The more varied the fabrics, the better the result! This addictive process is the ultimate way to use up even the tiniest bits of your stash. The finished quilt measures a cozy 64 inches by 72 inches, making it perfect for snuggling on the couch or gifting to someone special. This scrappy string quilt pattern is the perfect way to clear out your scrap pile and create something vibrant and beautiful!
