Transforming Scrap Fabric into the Stunning Mustgoes Quilt
Whether you are like most quilters, having a random collection of “strewn” fabric strips, odd cuts, and other scraps begin to pile up in your sewing space eventually. It can be difficult to find a project that puts these elements in an intelligent way without making it look like chaos. Step inside the pages of the Mustgoes Quilt, a clever and creative quilt designed by Quilted Twins' designer Becky Tillman Petersen.
The Mustgoes pattern is created specifically to be used as a stash-busting pattern to use all your fabrics that you just can't seem to get rid of to create an interesting and colorful quilt layout.
Pattern Overview & Key Features
- Designer: Becky Tillman Petersen (Quilted Twins)
- Quilt Style: Geometric Piecing (Scrap-friendly)
- Time: 3.5 hours
- Design Concept: Apply systematic strip-piecing and block contrasts to bring together a variety of prints and colours to create a balanced design.
The key to the beauty of the Mustgoes design is its versatility. Light to dark value contrasts, Becky Tillman Petersen's layout idea lets quilters easily use dozens of different fabric collections. If you want a two-color theme or a totally random “scrap-bag” look, the block structure offers enough repetitions to hold the whole piece together.
Before beginning, press your scraps and separate them by color value (light, medium and dark) to make your block definition stand out on the entire top.
Final Thought
The Mustgoes Quilt isn't a scrap buster; it's a creative process that transforms bits and pieces of old cloth into an everlasting legacy. If you've been wanting to do something with your stash and practice your precision piecing, this pattern is the place to begin sewing!
