Scrap-Basket Knockouts

When I posted the list of projects I hoped to work on this year, I had a lot of interest in these 2 quilts and these aren't even good pictures

They're currently at Jackie's waiting to be quilted. I was processing my scraps last year and I liked the way these incorporated my low volume prints.

Several readers contacted me, asking about the patterns. I've replied back, but I thought I'd share the information here as well since I had so many inquiries. They are both in this book that I bought in 2022. 

I thought I had written about it at some point, but I've been unable to find reference to it. There are so many great scrappy quilts in here.

This gives you a better look at Knots & Chains

Here's a better picture of Logs & Bricks from the book 

And then for each quilt, Kim gives you an alternate layout. I like playing with designs so this is a great addition.

Here's another

Here's a link to a trunk show I saw that made me purchase the book when it was first available

I think this was right before Martingale closed it's doors. I hope this helps those of you that were interested. Most of these are on my radar to make at some point, but so far I've only pieced 3 and only this one is finished.

Criss-Cross Baskets

I could make every single quilt and not have to buy a thing except a backing or two. 

I don't buy a lot of quilt books, but this one is a keeper. I even had it spiral bound and I'm glad I added it to my library.

  1. Your quilt is definitely a scrap quilt but it is so lovely! Happy stitching!

  2. Your quilt is gorgeous... so much to look at! And you can not beat Kim Brackett for great scrap quilt ideas... I have all of her books and I've done several of her patterns and more are on my list of quilts I want to make!

  3. I'm not surprised that these two quilts generated so much interest. They have a warm, old-time feeling that appeals to a lot of people. Thank you for sharing the book title for these scrap quilts. I was able to find a copy on eBay so I can make my own.
