This next project I want to share with you is such a great scrapbuster! I saw a quilt like it at my friend's mother's house and knew it would be such a fun project so I just had to make one too! Here's a brief description of how to make this beginner-friendly quilt: 1. Gather a bunch of 4-1/2" wide scraps (they can be any length you want). I cut mine anywhere from 1-1/2" to about 5-6" in length. 2. Sew them into one long strip. Press the seam allowances open. 3. Cut that strip into 4-1/2"…
