5 Reasons We LOVE the Strip Quilt!

New Throw Size Strip Quilt made by Clarissa Tinjum, Quilted by Connie Biselx

We've been making Strip Quilts at MT for years now, and our love for them just never goes away! We've recently updated our FREE pattern with new and improved instructions and more sizes than ever before! We've put together our top 5 reasons why we think the Strip Quilt should be your new go-to pattern - here you go!

Five reasons you should make a strip quilt:

1. You aren't in the mood for an intricate quilt pattern that involves precise cutting and sewing. With no points to match and no set design there is no way you can mess up a Strip Quilt!

2. You have a collection/bundle/stack of fabric that you love and really want to see each print. Since the pieces stay pretty big, the Strip Quilt is a great way to highlight some of your favorite prints.

3. It's a FREE pattern! We just updated it with new and improved instructions for SIX sizes of quilts, from baby to king! Download your free copy here!

4. You need a quick baby/wedding/birthday/etc. gift. This quilt goes together in no time! Cut your strips according to the diagram on the pattern, then randomly pull them and sew them together. We've learned over and over, The Strip Quilt actually works better if you really let it be random. Don't overthink it!

5. Having trouble putting your fabrics together? We always have a great supply of bundles perfect for your Strip Quilt! Stop in the shop and check them out - we would love to help you find your favorite.

Our latest sample for the shop is a Throw Size Strip Quilt.

With wool batting and a lawn backing, this maybe the perfect quilt to snuggle up with for a good afternoon nap on the couch!

We kept the quilting pretty simple on this one, but the throw size Strip Quilt is also a great chance to branch OUT and try some new quilting techniques on a manageable sized quilt!

We have LOVED seeing the amazing Strip Quilts you all have made over the years. Please keep them coming!! Stop in the shop with your quilt or share them with us on Instagram and Facebook! #mtsew

Happy Quilting!
