Next Step: Get out your background material. If you are making the smaller quilt, you will cut 6—4 ½” strips from the width of the fabric. This is just like cutting borders.

From these strips, you will cut 2 sizes:
14—10 ½” sections. This will give you 14—4 ½” x 10 ½” rectangles
8—9 ½” sections. This will give 8—4 ½” x 9 ½” rectangles.
If you are using more than 1 background fabric, you might cut some of each so that it is mixed up in the quilt OR you could cut just the 4 ½” x 9 ½” rectangles from one fabric and the 10 ½” ones from the other fabric. The 9 ½” ones will be on the outside of the quilt so it would look purposeful. If they are mixed up, they will look scrappy.
Also, cut 5—2 ½” strips for the border. 

If you are doing the larger quilt, you will need 33—4 ½” x 10 ½” rectangles (8—4 ½” strips) and 12—4 ½” 9 ½” rectangles (3 strips). This makes a total of 11 strips at 4 ½”.
Cut 6 strips of 2 ½” for the border.

Here’s step #3: Put 4 of your rectangles together like the picture below.📷
You’ll need 23 for a crib quilt 40” x 48”

=========================================
Are you thinking about doing the stash scrap quilt but don’t have anyone to give it to? Consider donating it to a Project Linus. I can eventually take them from you and get them to a cherished child who needs comfort due to illness, grief, homelessness or is a foster child. Use up those scraps and make a child from 0-18 years old happy and loved.
