Mathemagical - A scrap-friendly free quilt tutorial
Grab some scraps and let’s make the Mathemagical quilt! This is scrap-friendly and fat-quarter-friendly. It would be an amazing way to showcase a specific theme, or a line of coordinating fabric. I’ve made this pattern using Star Wars fabrics and Harry Potter fabrics and it looks great.

    Michelle, I LOVE this quilt. I'm about to make a cat quilt for a friend--twin size--and this will make the perfect--well, purr-fect--backing for the quilt. (I plan to piece cats for the top, so it will be two-sided.) I have TONS of cat fabric that's starched and ready to cut up and I'm so glad I saw this before I started cutting. I'll have to decide about directional fabric--whether I don't want to worry about it or have all the cats upright, but I can look at that as I cut stuff out before I put the "grout" on. These are excellent instructions and JUST what I needed to get out to the studio and get started! It's supposed to be a Christmas present, so I need to get moving. Thank you so much! I've downloaded the FREE pattern. Thank you!

    I have a question. Could a layer cake be used for this as well? I have a couple of layer cakes that have some beautiful large prints and then many smaller coordinating prints. I hate to cut the larger pieces because I’m afraid I will lose the beauty of those prints. So wondering if those could be used as larger pieces with the smaller prints cut into the smaller units, if that makes sense? Great video! Thanks so much!

    • @bitspiecesquilting
      @bitspiecesquilting 3 дня назад

      Hi Mindy. You can definitely use a layer cake, but just be aware of the amount that will be left over. Most layer cakes are 10x10. The largest pieces in this project are 8.5x8.5, so you will have 1.5 inches off each side of each layer cake piece as extra. Then the rectangles and squares are 4x8.5 and 4x4. You will have some additional pieces (2 inches and 1.5 inches) left over from your layer cake squares. There are lots of things you can do with these left over pieces, so if you decided to use your layer cakes, be sure the save them!!

      Just googled the collection - Oh WOW!! Really beautiful. Might be fun to pick your favourite bright colour and use that for the border fabric to make it really pop.
