Summer Camp days are filled with the unexpected and this scrappy quilt is designed to bring a cheerful surprise to any overnighter. Quickly sew together 2 ½ inch squares to create colorful 10 inch (finished) blocks.
The green and navy cornerstone squares and borders unify the quilt and remind us of night skies and northern lights. Your little camper or your porch swing will glow with this quilt.
If you are like Sandy and me, you’ve vowed to reduce your stash but are never quite sure how to do it. We decided to cut out a TON of 2 1/2 inch squares from any scraps, stray jelly roll strips, fat quarters and even fabrics we were not very fond of!
“Summer Camp” is the result of our stash reduction quest.
We hope you like this new pattern! We will also be posting the pattern to the FaveQuilts website. If you are looking for lots of FREE quilt inspiration, check out their website. It’s a great resource and you won’t be disappointed.

So bright and cheerful!
Thanks, it’s been fun to work on this…so many fabrics!
I love those precuts!
Hi Cindy! Ooh, this is a fun quilt and a fabulous use for all the 2.5″ pieces I’ve been collecting. The cornerstones matching the borders is just genius and so cool. I am annoyed with WP Reader because it is so slow at sharing posts sometimes. If I hadn’t seen the announcement in my Bloglovin’ email I would have missed this wonderful post and tutorial. Anyhow, this finish is just great and I’m checking out the links now. Happy Friday, friends. ~smile~ Roseanne
