How to Make a Scrappy Trip Around the World Quilt

Calling all scrap quilt lovers! This is one you definitely will want to try. It’s the traditional Trip Around the World and Darcy Quilts show how to make it scrappy. And let’s face it, aren’t scrap quilts the best (well at least to me they are).

Darcy uses strip piecing to make her quilt and shows off a number of different layout that can be used with this method. It is a lot easier than piecing all of those small squares together individually, that’s for sure!

Standard quilting supplies are needed to make this quilt and she uses a scant quarter inch seam throughout.

The sky is the limit with this well known design. It’s a good one for beginners and experienced quilters and, depending on fabric placement, is a stunning look.
