What a great scrap quilt! Just 12 fat quarters or 3 yards of scraps, plus the borders, binding and backing is all you need to create this stunning quilt.
The designer Deb lives in the Great Smoky Mountains and shares with us that in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, this was called a postcard quilt because quilters used a postcard for the template to cut the pieces for this quilt. Now the Creative Grids 3 ½” wide rulers make cutting these pieces easy as pie!
Incorporating these units into the middle border adds the perfect finishing touch!
Finished Size: 59in x 67in.

Creative Grids Quilt Ruler
This 3-1/2 x 12-1/2 inch rectangle ruler features easy-to-read black and white markings printed in 1-inch grids marked in 1/8- and 1/4-inch increments. Use the easy-to-read, black numbers (printed on white dots) and the 1/4-inch grip sides to cut whole inches. The 1/4-inch dashed lines printed on two adjoining sides aid in trimming seam allowances. Use the patented Turn-A-Round feature – designated by the easy to read, numerical white numbers (printed on black dots) and the 1/2-inch grip sides – to add the 1/2-inch seam allowance. Use the white 45-degree angle to trim half-square triangles in whole inch increments. Use the black 45-degree angle to trim half-square triangles in half inch increments. An additional black 45-degree line is placed so that two angles cross 1/4 inch away from the outside edge. Use these markings to square up flying geese units; squares set on point or mark cross-hatching. The ruler also features a 30degree/60degree angle. White horizontal and vertical lines are printed on the rectangle, so the center of the ruler is easily distinguishable. Use these lines to fussy cut stripes and borders.

Chain Piece Thread Cutting Gizmo
Reduce thread cutting time with the Gypsy Quilter Chain-Piece Cutting Gizmo. It is the extra hand you need to help separate chain-pieced units when quilting. To safely cut the threads between the chain-pieced units, simply hold the fabric pieces with both hands and slip the thread into the slot on the top of the Chain-Piece Cutting Gizmo. The embedded razor blade cuts the thread quickly, easily and safely. The non-slip bottom ensures that it will stay in place when in use. Five replacement blades and the magnetic tool needed for blade changes are stored in the base.
