There is nothing sweeter than finding a pattern you know is perfect for your scraps and this jazz quilt block is perfect! Not only is it a stash buster but it’s free! Talk about a double bonus.

We suggest stepping outside of the standard white and picking a colored blender fabric for the background. Not only will this will help give the finished quilt cohesive look no matter what color scraps you use but it will help your fabrics pop. Feast your eyes on the red background, just breath taking!

One of the things we love about the jazz quilt block is the size. Larger size blocks help speed up the sewing process and help us achieve a finished quilt top in no time flat. Let’s take a look at Kimberly from Fat Quarter Shop show us the block assembly basics. You’ll notice she made quick work of cutting her corner units out with the help of that rotating cutting mat. That’s one we have on our wish list but you can order it here.

So go ahead, grab your scrap stash and start stitching the day away. We’ll bet that before you know it, you’ll put a dent in your stash and have a finished quilt top to show for it. The jazz quilt block is not only addictive but it’s guaranteed to show off your scrap stash in style.
