| Patriotic Quilt utilizing Remnant fabrics w/Abe Lincoln Panel |
This is one of many that are being created incorporating 'remnants' into blocks and sashing, combined with various Patriotic panels to create Beautiful Patriotic Quilts to Honor our Amazing Service Members and Veterans for their Sacrifice and Service for our country.
Here's another recently created Patriotic Quilt from 'remnant binding strips':

We fondly refer to these Patriotic 'Remnant' blocks as 'potato chip' blocks, as the Creator of these wondrous blocks/quilts does, too:
...because once you get started making them, You simply CAN'T make Just ONE!
...because once you get started making them, You simply CAN'T make Just ONE!
Not only are they FUN to create - they give us an outlet for our binding remnants that allows us to utilize even the smallest pieces of fabric to create Beautiful Patritic Quilts for our Beloved Vets and Service Members...win/WIN!
A few examples of these blocks:
 |
| Blue Center 'Log Cabin/Potato Chip' block |
 |
| RED Center 'Log Cabin/Potato Chip' block |
There are MANY ways to assemble these 'remnant/potato chip' blocks - we chose the Log Cabin style to reflect not only our Lincoln Log cabin state but, because of the simplicity of piecing this block. We use 2 1/2" strips throughout cut to 4 1/2" lengths because once again, that's what we have the most remnants of, because that's the size we typically use for our bindings = simplicity ;-)

Happy Quilting!
