Scrap Explosion Quilt | Use Your Leftover Fabric

Do you have leftover scrap fabric exploding all over your sewing space? I know I do. I love having different ideas for using my fabric scraps. This free quilt block pattern is a fun way to use your fabric scraps whenever you have time.
Cut List
The following cut list will make 9 scrappy quilt blocks.
The 9 quilt blocks will make a 72" x 72" oversized Throw Quilt.
36 - 3.5" squares
to make 36 - 2.5" hourglass blocks
108 - 3" squares
to make 108 - 2.5" half square triangles
108 - 5.5" squares
to make 108 - 4.5" hourglass blocks
180 - 5" squares
to make 180 - 4.5 half square triangles

    I really enjoy it when you do these creative and unique quilts! I think it encourages people to make quilts that are truly their own and not like everyone else's. It's fun watching people do kits or predetermined sew alongs too, but in the end, while the quilt is pretty, it's not necessarily unique to the maker. Love what you are doing! ❤

    Frances, just like my wife said, she wasn't really that happy with how the block turned out initially, since it was different than she had imagined. But, she kept going and the end result is AWESOME. Quilters seem to be very hard on themselves (I get it, I'm a perfectionist), but sometimes, I think we all need to just keep going so we can see how our visions turn out. I'm so glad she did that here because this is one of my favorite quilts she has made!
