This is my favorite quick donation quilt. Just a yard of a novelty print and two coordinating fabrics from stash and it always looks so cute!

Dawn made several and I thought I’d share a couple here including a variation where she created a larger center section. You can click on either photo to see a larger view.
I can sew, but I am novice quilter. I look forward to trying your carpenter and Quickie Strip quilt patterns. Thank for your clear directions and for inspiring me. I love your website!!! Happy Quilting!

A great quilt for a beginner or to use up some of those really unusual fabrics I have acquired over the years.
Wow! I am now planning on using this pattern to ‘down-size’ my
fabric stash. It is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Mary,
Thank you for this site! I made the quick strippie in a twin sized quilt for my disabled uncle with Marine fabric. It was a big hit at Christmas time. Now, I’m working on a baby quilt with African animals for a friend’s newborn. For a person who starts a lot of projects and is not very confident (yet) about the quilting part, this design has been a real lifesaver. Hopefully, my confidence will increase, as well.
Thanks again!
Only a yard of novelty fabric?!?! Yee haw! Now I have something creative & constructive to do with all those funky yards I’ve picked up hither & yon (“This is kinda neat… I’ll just get a yard of it — surely I can find something todo with a yard”… yeah… riiiiiiiiight! LOL!). You are too smart & creative for words!!!
I love this quilt.
I really love this quilt!!! I made THREE yesterday. I have so much fabric in my stash I have to get rid of it. Plus I am a year or two behind trying to catch up with all the marriages and babies in the family So I am making a bunch of these for the little nieces and nephews. THANKS Mary for such a great site.
THANKS FOR THE GREAT QUILT IDEA FOR MY SON QUILT HE IS INTO MORTORCYLES AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A GREAT WAY TO PUT ALL OF THE FABRIC TOGETHER FOR HIM HE HAS SPECIAL NEED. HE HAS A HARD TIME STAYING WARM SO I NEED TO MAKE IT EXTRA WARM FOR HIM. SO THANKS AGAIN FOR THE GREAT QUILT IDEA!

Can’t thank you enough for this pattern. I’ve used it and variations of it several times for donation. I’ve referenced your site in my blog post with a picture of yet another “strippie quilt”.
I love this little donation quilt. I cannot stipple, however, could I do stitch in the ditch?
Like Mary, this has become my favorite go to pattern when I need to make a quilt for donation. I have yet to make one that does not look great and they all get multiple compliments. Thank you for a great pattern!

The fabrics chosen really make these quilts pop!
This is marvelous! I make ‘comfort’ quilts for holocaust survivors and I LOVE this idea! I am going right now and examine my stash!!! Thanks for such a simple but lovely idea!

Is there any reason why the strips couldn’t be sewn directly onto the other two layers, foundation style? It seems to me it would save some time and require less quilting when assembled that way. I haven’t tried this, but wondered if anyone has. In a magazine some years ago, I saw an over sized log cabin design presented as a quick quilt project. The strips were sewn onto the batting and backing. I have lost track of the article and don’t know which magazine.
This is my new favorite quick quilt top. I made one tonight in an hour or so. Thank you for sharing the pattern.

Your strippy quilt is superb. I have now had two of these for Project Linus UK, clearly from your pattern, and they are lovely. I have a talk to give next month and they want to have some ideas for easy Linus quilts – I’ll simply give them the website details! Thank you so much. Regards to all, Jacki
Just bought a few larger print novelty fabs. The strips will work nicely to show off the larger prints, better than cutting up into smaller squares. So glad someone mentioned this pattern on another forum.
Thanks Mary for being so generous with your patterns.
That is so great. I love making quilts with a bit of detail but sometimes you just need something so simple. Thank you so much for sharing this quick quilt tut.
I cut out lots of these quilts for my Project Linus Make a Blanket Day for our chapter in PA. This pattern makes beautiful tops, and is so easy to sew and then tie or machine quilt. Love it!
I’m going to use this pattern for my Kid’s Club at school for their first project, thank you!
Cute, cute, cute!!! I can see many of these in my future. :>) Thanks for the clear and easy instructions!
This is a great simple pattern. i have a few yards of noevelty fabric so i will put them to good use. we have a local hospice at home service so i will see if they can find homes for the quilts when they are finished.
I love your ideas!
It’s very creative. The result is wonderful and looks comfy

Great patterns. Thanks for the ideas as I will be making a lot of quilts.
I’ve probably made close to 100 quilts for Project Linus using this quilt pattern. It always turns out great.
SORRY, I am left-handed and backwards, noted Mary did answer already, oh well, my third comment anywhere all year, and I still don’t get it. Back to the blog…
In case no one gets back to you, “W. O. F.” Width of Fabric…L.O.F. is LENGTH of FABRIC..I had been sewing clothing for 30 yrs before someone told me what that meant, haha…I think there is no stupid question, only stupid answers…love the patterns..Mary’s instructions are so clear and easy to understand..Thanks MARY…
Width of Fabric = WOF
i know i am going to feel stupid when i get the answer but what is WOF?
