Have you noticed the giant patchwork bow trend? My sister and I jumped right in recently and spent an afternoon together starting our bows. I decided to make mine autumn, since I don't have an autumn wreath for the front door.
I have four baby quilts to share today, and three of the four have IKEA duvet covers for backing. Scroll to the end for my tips on buying IKEA duvet covers.
"Stitch With Rachel" on YouTube turned hundreds of mini "Plus" blocks into a gorgeous large quilt recently. I love "Plus" blocks and have plenty of 1 1/2" strips, so I started making some for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge in September, 2026. Here are my blocks for October, "Neutrals".
These blocks take 4 1/2" of print fabric and 10" of background/white fabric.
The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for October is neutrals (or catch-up). My RSC goal this year is to whittle down my stack of 5" scrap charm squares by turning them into baby quilts, 9 squares across by 11 squares down, therefore "99 Charms" quilts. Here are the neutral baby quilts I made.
I recently watched "Stitch With Rachel" on YouTube, who has an adorable leaders and enders project that she's been working on for a year, making hundreds of mini "Plus" blocks from 1 1/2" strips! I happen to have a lot of 1 1/2" scrap strips and love "Plus" blocks, so I decided to make a few myself!
Twenty-one to be exact. I'm making them as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, starting this month with purple.
