Simple Diamond Blanket using a Fabric Scrap Bag!

Katrina shows us how to make a simple diamond blanket which can be made using a scrap bag or jelly roll. Katrina has backed her blanket with a fleece (perfect for picnics!) and has quilted it on every other row with a simple wavy line.
The finished blanket measures 50 inches x 64 inches
64 strips measuring 20 inches by 2.5 inches
32 strips measuring 10 inches by 2.5 inches
2.5 inch squares in your highlight fabric

Love this vintage look pattern. Next on my project list. Thank you.

[@RIANAVENTER]

Looking forward to seeing you next time too.

[@gretroman8235]

Clear instructions at the right pace for me. Thank you. I like the way you construct the rows with good tips to make it easier for us. Would love to see a finished black and white quilt too.

[@delwyngraham4033]

Nice looking forward to seeing finished black and white one😊

Katherina your so talented 😊

[@LpoolDogLover]

Beautiful and fun! I love it! I also love your top!!

[@nancyw7431]

You didn't mention how many 2 1/2" squares to cut. Love this use for the scrap bags. Thank you, Katrina.

[@Poshfrocknfluffyslip]

Fabulous design. Thanks Katrina. I always love your tutorials x

[@user-oq2bg9pj6n]

That's a great quilt. I really enjoy your videos Katrina, I always understand you. Seems to me that jelly rolls are such fun and so versatile. Think I might get all my scraps and cut them into jelly roll strips.

[@donnagraham2802]

Great idea to use up those extra jelly roll strips or leftover fabric! Love the new Janome machine also.

[@magdaherbert]

What a great idea! Thank you so much, love your channel.

[@dianabarker3815]

Greetings from Mississippi USA. I love your style of teaching. I have tons of strips to take a chance at this pattern. I am looking forward to the next video.

[@Scrappyendings]

What a lovely idea! I love your sweet voice. Thank you for the great idea to use those leftover 2.5" strips.

[@sharonlyman3029]

Great pattern and interesting colors. If you want to see in other color ways, see Jordan Fabrics tutorials. She did it in 2 other colors Jan/2022.

I have made this a couple of times and love it

[@manuelashannon1369]

Very fun make. Thank you for sharing.

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

I got this machine in December and so far I’m loving it. I’m looking forward to doing free motion quilting with the stitch regulator. I’ve only ever bought 1 Moda scrap bag and most of the strips had the selvage edge along the bottom of the strip and half the strips were cut squint so I only ended up with about 1.5” of useable fabric on the strip rather than 2.5”, some of the strips were only 1.5” wide at one end! I was really disappointed because you couldn’t see this looking at it. It really put me off buying another one.

[@user-xn3mb9ui2r]

@@alexandra-zaza-burns o not good

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

@@user-xn3mb9ui2r it was very disappointing and has put me off buying those scrap bags. I know they often have selvages but the squint cut was not great.

[@GinaMiller-ux2dh]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@DH-qz2so]

I have purchased the "Moda Scrap Bags"... all different times, different stores.... one does need to watch out, as on the whole length of the strip, all the way down... you get the Bolt End Holes that hold the fabric onto the machinery...these need to be sliced off, prior to using the now narrower strip! Still a fun bag to buy... but be aware of the loss of fabric..

[@malindahawkins6551]

I made a baby quilt using this pattern

[@sheann283]

I made this quilt from Donna Jordan's instructions a few years ago.. I was new to quilting and I made a scrappy version, I cut the strips from fat quarters. I used orange and green for the diamonds and that made it a little more complicated.

[@gaylebarka146]

Do you have a video or pattern for the tulip pillow behind you?

[@ndlz1]

🙌🏻🙏

[@nancysharon931]

I love this quilt pattern. How much yardage is needed for the diamonds and border? ❤

[@donna8243]

1 meter she said at :59

[@nancysharon931]

@@donna8243 Thank you. I missed hearing that. 🙂

[@paulinebritten9209]

When it's sew together do you not lose the tops of the diamonds?

[@marylynneturner5290]

Once those strips are sewn together those diamonds "shrink" and you get a 1\4 inch seam allowance above and below to give you space for crisp points.

[@danacox7571]

How many 2.5 inch squares?

[@louisesuffolk]

Where can I find the pattern please

[@sandrajolley1671]

I'm so stupid that I can't remember how to thread a sewing machine....been years

[@tamarahill1600]

You’re not stupid. 🤗 You can find instructions online. OR, take your machine into a sewing machine repair shop and they’ll show you.

[@nancysharon931]

Sorry, binding not border.
