Strip piecing quilts can save time and money. Top US blogger Amy Smart shares tips to accurately cut and piece fabric for fast quilt blocks.

Making a quilt can be a bit pricey, especially when you consider sending it to be quilted once you've finished piecing the top.

Here's how to make it: Using anywhere between 3 and 16 different fabrics cut the following strips: Three 6" x 42" Two 5" x 42" Four 4" x 42" Five 3" x 42" Two 2" x 42" Lay them out on the ground in a random pleasing pattern. Then, cut a backing fabric (you may need to piece it) 45" x 60"…

My fabric bins are sorted by colour and my original plan was to grab the blue bin and sew something but on a family drive inspiration struck! Instead I grabbed the blue, teal and aqua bins and…

The week between Christmas and New Year's I pin basted four quilts, preparing them for machine quilting. Today I am sharing the third finish of the four. I made this quilt from rectangles I found in a box of scraps from a quilt I made a number of years ago. There were a lot more rectangles than I remembered, so I started randomly placing them on my design wall and created this top. This was pure mindless sewing, which is needed on occasion!
