Block 1: Scrappy coin block
This is a stack of strips sewn together horizontally.
you could have all the strips with the same or different widths.
Once done, trim.
Just remember to sew straight and press.
Start with the longest strip which goes from the top left to the bottom right.
Just keep adding strips to both sides until you have the desired size.
Many quilters contrast one side of the block with the other side with a different color.
When the blocks are put together to make a bigger block it can create a very striking layout.
Some people use a solid piece on one side and sew the other side in strips.
Block 3: Scrappy L block
This block starts with a square or rectangle in the center.
You just keep adding on the top and side.
Continue until you have the size that you want.
Its your choice if you want to use the same size of strings or you want to vary them.
Instead of sewing around, you sew in pairs.
So you sew a strip on the top and bottom, then sew a strip to the two sides.
Block 6: Scrappy braid
Start with a square.
you’re gonna wanna work with pairs of the same width.
Sew one to the left side and one to the right.
You want to line up all intersections.
Continue by adding pair of strings.
It is okay to use pairs with different widths.
After every pair, check with your ruler if it is intersecting all the points with the others.
