My Favorite Fabric Challenge for Project Quilting

Project Name:  Gum Wrapper Chain Sweatshirt

Yes I love BLUE fabric!

I started by rotary cutting the fabric into 1 1/4 inch strips.

I stitched my 1 1/4 inch strips together and then cut them at 1 1/4 inch across. See the photo.

I stitched way too many of them!

I stitched the next strip --- 2 inches long by 1 1/4 inch wide.

I stitched way too many of them - again!

I stitched the little blocks together.  See the photos.

Next I stitched a solid square ( 2 inch square) on the sides like the photo.

I added more 2 inch squares to the sides and made a little quilt first and then another one.  See the next couple photos.

I staggered them 2 off in the first one and 1 off in the second quilt.  Still get the same look that I wanted. I want it to look like a gum wrapper chain!

It's ready to quilt!

I added double batting under the Gum Wrapper Strips. (80/20 Batting)

I stitched Marcia 2015 PQS6Ch5 to each little quilt.

They are not done yet!

I stitched the larger one onto the back of a sweatshirt and the little one to the front.

A couple years ago I made a Gum Wrapper Chain Quilt.  Click here for that post.

If you want to know how I made the ruffled sweatshirt you can download the PDF Pattern on Craftsy.com in my Pattern Store.
