Ladder Quilt Block









First, I went through my fabric scraps. Then sewed together pieces between 1” to 2.5” wide by 5-6“ long. 



Sew ladder strips on - they should be 1.5“ (I start with 2“ then trim it down to 6.5“), press each seam. It needs to be 20” or longer. If it’s longer that is okay, because it will all get trimmed down at the end.


Sew on ladder sides, two solid black strips 1 3/4” x Width of fabric.


Sew side strips together.rectangular strips, the same length as the black ladder strips. Use a variety of fabric in one color.

I showed her each square and what she can do with it. The first thing she noticed was the wording; „Mit Liebe Gemacht“ which translates to „Made with love“.  Oma Hildegard is German and I wanted to make sure she would recognize things and always remember that we love her.  What is a Fidget Blanket?
