This two-color scrap quilt is fast and fun to make, see pattern here: Far Horizon.
Cut a bunch of scraps by eye, using scissors.
Trim with a rotary cutter after sewing the strips.
This is the fast way to do it. No hassle.
Even though the scraps are different heights, it's easy to get a nice straight horizon.
And I love that contrast line. I want to try purple and yellow next time.
This is a twin size. But a wall size for my quilt room would be nice.
And here's a tip for new quilters: When pinning, place pins out of the path of the needle so that you don't run over the pin. I've done that and have broken the needle and the pin. Broken bits fall into the machine and do some real damage. Plus repairmen are generally horrified that we'd do this. I thought it was inevitable now and then. Guess not. So now I pin like this (see below).
