Homemade – Tip Top Quilt and Pillow

Hi Friends! I’m Melanie Call from  A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog and Instagram. Today I’m sharing the Tip Top Quilt featuring the Homemade Collection designed by Echo Park Paper Company.  Plus keep reading for my bonus pillow made of scraps!

The Homemade Fabric Collection is the perfect late summer /early fall collection with lovely florals, bumble bees, and gingham prints in coral, sage, sunshine, and forest colors. The prints coordinate so wonderfully.

I chose to make the Tip Top Quilt because I wanted a quilt pattern that showcased the fabric colors so well! The Tip Top Quilt is a beginner friendly pattern that uses 2.5″ Rolie Polie Strips and a bit of background fabric.

Tip Top Quilt 56.5″ x 56.5″

Supplies:

  • Tip Top Quilt Pattern: available in Pattern Shop or Etsy
  • (36) 2.5″ x WOF strips: Homemade Fabric Collection designed by Echo Park Paper Company
  • 1 yard background: Homemade White Bumble Bees designed by Echo Park Company
  • 0.5 yard Binding: Homemade Fabric Collection designed by Echo Park Paper Company
  • 3.5 yards Backing: Dainty Daisy Honey designed by Beverly McCullough

The Tip Top Quilt Pattern size can be easily adjusted as it is a block based quilt. You can choose to make more or additional blocks for a larger or smaller quilt. Or add a border using your favorite print from the Homemade Collection to easily enlarge your quilt.

I made a scrappy binding for my Tip Top Quilt and I love it! Are you a fan of scrappy binding too?

Scrappy Bonus Project …..Patchwork Pillow

After I made my Tip Top Quilt … I was able to cut 2.5″ x 2.5″ squares from my scraps and make a matching patchwork pillow! I used (64) 2.5″ squares for a 16″ pillow.

I love sewing a coordinating pillow with my scraps!

I can’t wait to see your Homemade: Tip Top Quilt and matching Patchwork Pillow with your scraps!
