Today I’m excited to share another version of my foundation paper pieced (FPP) Wildflower Remix Block of the Month quilt, this time, a scrappy quilt option. And when I say scrappy, I really mean it. Every bit of fabric in this quilt came straight from my fabric stash. No shopping, no coordinating collections, no fabric lists to share… just pulling from what I already had on hand.
Some of these fabrics have been with me for a long time, all the way back to when I first started quilting in 2012.
Let’s get into it…
Why I Don’t Make Scrappy Quilts as Often (But Love Them Anyway)
If you’ve followed my work for a while, you probably know that I often use solids or blender fabrics in my quilts. Part of that is simply personal preference. I love the clean, graphic look they bring. And part of it is practical. As a pattern designer, I know many quilters want to use the exact fabrics I use, or at least something very close, so solids and blenders make that easier.
That said… I love scrappy quilts, especially foundation paper pieced scrappy quilts.
I love seeing how different fabrics play together, and I love watching a quilt take on its own personality. And I especially love seeing quilters use one of my patterns with what they already have in their stash.
This scrappy Wildflower Remix quilt was a great reminder that the pattern really does work beautifully with a wide range of fabrics and not just carefully planned palettes.
A SUPER Scrappy Background, Too
One of my favorite parts of this quilt is the background. Instead of using one background fabric, I pulled entirely from my white and off-white scraps which includes different whites, white-on-white prints, and light neutrals I’ve collected over the years from trimming quilt blocks and leftover fabric cuts.
The result is a slightly wonky, foundation paper pieced patchwork effect that adds a lot of texture without taking attention away from the flower blocks. And as someone who has been saving those smaller white scraps for years, it felt incredibly satisfying to finally use them up. I’m happy to report that my white/off-white scrap bin is significantly less full now. That alone feels like a win.
Letting the Blocks Come Together Naturally
For this quilt, I didn’t overthink fabric placement. I pulled colors I loved, mixed in older favorites, and let the variety do its thing. Some fabrics are bold, some are subtle, and some are probably from collections I couldn’t name if I tried.
As I started putting the blocks up on my design wall the quilt really came to life. Watching the blocks go up one by one was so satisfying.
Even the quilt backing and binding ended up scrappy on this one, which feels like the perfect finishing touch.
A Helpful Note About Wildflower Remix Fabric Requirements
If you’re wondering how a scrappy approach works with a Block of the Month, this is where I have you covered in the Wildflower Remix Welcome Packet.
When you register, the Welcome Packet PDF includes fabric requirements broken out block by block. That means you can plan (or pull from your stash) one block at a time, use different fabrics for each block, and still know roughly how much fabric you’ll need. It’s a really flexible pattern, especially if you love working scrappy or want to use what you already have.
A Wildflower Remix Quilt Reveal… in the Snow
I couldn’t resist doing something a little different for the quilt reveal. The contrast of bright, scrappy flowers against a wintery backdrop is a reminder that quilting and fabric can brighten up even the coldest days (and that spring will eventually be here).
One Block, Lots of Possibilities
One of my favorite things about this pattern is how versatile the individual blocks are. I used one of the Wildflower Remix blocks and made it in a different mix of stash fabrics, then finished it as a placemat. It was a fun, low-pressure way to play with color, use up a few more scraps, and end up with something I can actually use every day.
If committing to a full quilt feels like a lot right now, starting with a single block project like this is a great way to dip your toes in and see how the pattern works with the fabrics you already have.
