Bricks, Cool (5781)
I've used this simple design of 3 x 8.5 inch "bricks" many times in making my charity quilts. With no matching to consider, it is one of the fastest scrap quilt designs to make. The quilt top will go to a group which will finish it for a world relief project.
To make a similar quilt, cut 64 dark scraps and 64 light scraps 9 x 3.5 inches and 8 dark scraps and 8 light scraps 4.75 x 3.5 inches. Arrange as shown and stitch with 1/4 inch seams. I cut my side borders five inches wide and my top and borders 6.5 inches wide for the quilt to finish at approximately 60 x 80 inches.
