Simple Spiny Peaks Quilt using 2 1/2 inch STRIPS! 10th in our series to use leftover strips!

Tenth project in a series using 2 1/2 inch strips to make scrappy quilts! This pattern was designed for a colorful jelly roll and a white jelly roll but leftover 2 1/2 inch strips in two different colors will work just as easily!
I chose a high contrast between the two colors. The hot pink and black together are bold and the finished quilt is striking! A subtle difference between the two colors would also be beautiful but more relaxed with a softer pattern.
Here is the link to the pattern used in the video, "Spiny Peaks," by Zen Chic for Moda. This pattern is one of the many Project Jelly Roll patterns they have available online for free!

Here is a link to our video series playlist featuring Projects using 2 1/2 inch strips:
• Projects using 2 1/2" ...
Stay to the end to see the finished quilt and see what the backing looks like! I also show what i did with my extra cut off pieces from the strip sets and the edge of the quilt! Don't throw away those extra bits! Make something out of them!
There is also an update on the 2 1/2 inch scrap bucket situation!
I've challenged myself to do a new project each month using only 2 1/2 inch strips from my scrap buckets. I have always saved leftover strips from projects and cut up small leftover fabric from yardage into 2 1/2 inch strips and put them in a bucket for some "future" project . The future is now! It is time to tame the scrap bucket and use up these strips. I'll always have a scrap bucket of strips because I'm constantly adding to it but I want to get it down to just ONE bucket instead of three...make that seven after the "GREAT SORTING"! This series will last until I'm down to one bucket. Let's be honest, it will take at least 2 years to use up enough strips to make a difference! So join me on this project adventure to use up fabric scraps!
If you don't have leftover strips from other projects to make scrappy quilts, cut up fabrics in your stash into 2 1/2" strips to make the project. No stash of fabric? Head to your local quilt shop and buy a jelly roll or some very pretty fabric to cut into strips! Shop owners are more than happy to help you find the perfect fabric, don't be shy, ask for help if you need it!

Watching this makes me want to cut all my left over fabric from other projects into to strips to start my own strip bin!

[@BEVERLYRANDOLPH-lx4qu]

Shelley, another winner! This pink-and-black is really striking! I’m really enjoying this whole series. Thanks for sharing all this work with us!

Just when I am sure you can’t top what you have already presented in this fabulous, fun series, you prove me wrong! I am gobsmacked! You never cease to amaze! Your presentations and calm, wonderful voice make each video so encouraging.

[@princessfrances132]

Aloha from Hawaii!!! I love this series!! When your buckets are empty you should compile all of these strip patterns into a book!!!!

[@chriswilford3576]

What a great idea 💡 ❤

[@nadinekekauoha5102]

I watch every month for your tutorial . Love watching them. Thank you so much.

[@nancyharman4795]

Finished quilt looks absolutely STUPENDOUS!!! 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️

[@michelledurham8236]

Your videos ALWAYS inspire me to do more!! We are kindred spirits on scraps! I always see potential in the bits of fabric. As a longarmer - most of my customers don't want the trim and tell me to toss. I do - right into my bins. i am chairperson for our QOV group. Folks are always donating scraps that I will press and subcut for our projects.😊

[@SweetVelvetBuds]

Gorgeous, as usual! 😊

[@katherinem7835]

Love the quilt.

[@lisagorski5116]

I LOVE that you went with not ironing before sewing! Makes me feel so much better.

[@KathySpieker]

What a fun thing to do with my BINS of scraps! You have inspired me to at least begin sorting into like colors!!! Cheers! and Thanks for the video! I've printed out the Moda pattern as further inspiration!

[@Marialla.]

I like the way you use up the little bits at the end. I've always done this, so seeing new ideas for how things can go together is always interesting for me!

[@judithvillarreal7064]

This is lovely! I think you did a wonderful job!❤

[@koalasez1200]

Gorgeous color combo!! Looking at the completed quilt I had a flashback to my old crocheting days in the 70’s 😳 and those orange & black chevron afghans. 😉. This is much faster!! Thanks for sharing!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create that. Fabulous quilt. I absolutely love 🧡 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 your design, the colours really pop don’t they. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@pamelamiller3215]

Beautiful quilt the pink and black always look so nice together

[@HRHDMKYT]

Great job 💕! I am amazed at how many varied strips you have to work with to get this beautiful scrappy look. You must have made hundreds of quilts and/or projects if these are all your “leftovers”! Hello from Canada 🇨🇦

[@1foresteratlarge509]

Loved seeing this and started one yesterday with red, pink and black. Great directions too.

[@nanashouse202]

Just found you. Thanks I really appreciate the tutorial.

[@maryjacobsen6539]

Very striking quilt. I think it's lovely.

[@lyndaevans1132]

How fun! I can see a little 10 year old girl or a teen just loving this quilt! I like the way you organised your sewing, and plan to do the same. I'm glad I'm not the only one to make use of all the scraps! I put the tiniest ones in a big white milkglass bowl as I go, and thoroughly enjoy looking at the beautiful colors all together as I fill the bowl! It's a good way to see that I am also making progress. I don't use them as stuffing when the bowl is full, but I give them to a friend of mine does! She stuffs dog beds for the Friends of Pets Thrift Shop.

[@michellejaggard9657]

I loved this quilt so much. Pink is my color, black really made it pop! Thank you for the pattern.

[@elizabethgardner5207]

I may not have many 2 1/2 inch strips, but your techniques for using fabric creatively has been very helpful making scrappy borders. Thanks so much.

[@wendywilson1736]

So, that's how the rows are joined! I've looked at quilts like this, trying to figure out how. I was over thinking this! Neat quilt!

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

M’y first time watching your lovely video. Now I am all set to binge watch the rest. Why does everyone else’s scrap stash look more interesting than mine? Love those pinks but I don’t have any. IAM trying to get over being too matchy matchy on my first scrap quilt. Au revoir from France ❤❤👏👏

[@ms.m2054]

I love, love, love this series!!!!! I'm not a pink fan but this is striking and tempting to make. I have a niece who would love it.

[@user-cr1mm1ys8e]

That is really nice I have so much scrap thank tou

[@freddiehansen7324]

That turned out so stunning :) Doing the stay stitch before cutting is so clever! Better save up 80 strips! 😁

[@margileone6277]

I really love this series. I’m so proud of you for getting through more strips and thank you for sharing the whole experience with us! This quilt looks awesome. :)
