This is a really fast quilt, and fun for beginners. Other ideas: use old dress shirts, skirts,sheets or any cotton fabric found at thrift stores.

sew 2" strip to 4" square, cut to length(4") and iron strip away from square.
Take another strip and place it as picture shows. Sew, cut and iron out as before.
And a 3rd time. This is why you use strips, various sizes. Using strips makes it so much easier, just cut to size as you go. Minimal preparation!
And now you are back to the beginning. You will repeat the process over and over until you get to a size you like.
You can play with lights and darks to make a spiral effect.
And here is the quilt I made for my mother in law(bff), she loves christmas. Of course, quilts look much better in person. This is a great quilt for a beginner and a good way to use up scrap strips. I finished the quilt with a large border, polar fleece back and hand tied it(I know, its not a quilt unless its quilted). She loved it. Make one today! Start up takes minutes!
