Quilt As You Go Project!
A Sweet “Home” Wall Hanging Made With Fabric Scraps
Sometimes the smallest pieces of fabric can become the most meaningful sewing projects. ❤️
Today I’m sharing a Quilt As You Go project made with fabric scraps, a special fabric square with a beautiful message, and some pretty rick rack trim.
The finished piece can be used in many different ways—as a small wall hanging, decorative piece, table accent, gift, or simply a special reminder of home and love.
The Message
“No matter what,
no matter where,
it’s always
Home
when love is there.”
I thought this wording was perfect for this project!
To Make This Project You Will Need:
Fabric scraps/pieces
A fabric square with a design or wording
Backing fabric – approximately 9" square
Fusible fleece – approximately 9" square
Sewing thread
Rick rack trim
A Little About the Measurements
One of the things I enjoy about working with scraps is that the measurements don't always have to be exact.
For this project, I measured and adjusted as I went along so that the fabric pieces would fit the center design and create the finished 9" square.
This makes Quilt As You Go a wonderful method for using up those beautiful pieces of fabric that are too good to throw away!
How I Made It
I first cut a piece of fabric approximately 9" x 9".
I then fused the fabric with the fusible fleece to give the project some body.
Next, I had a fabric square with the wording that measured approximately 4" x 4".
I selected fabric scraps to frame the wording.
Step 1 – Add the Side Pieces
For each side of the center wording, I selected two pieces of fabric approximately:
1½" x 4"
I placed these pieces along the sides of the center square and stitched them in place.
Step 2 – Add the Next Side Pieces
I then selected two more fabric pieces approximately:
2" x 4"
These were added alongside the first pieces to continue building the quilted design.
Step 3 – Add the Top and Bottom
To finish framing the center section, I used two pieces of fabric approximately:
3" x 9"
I stitched the pieces together in the order described above, building the project one section at a time.
This is the part I especially enjoy about Quilt As You Go—you can watch the project grow as each piece is added!
Finishing the Project
Once the piecing was completed, I zigzag stitched around the outside edges.
For a decorative finishing touch, I added white rick rack trim around the edges and stitched it securely in place.
The rick rack adds a sweet scalloped detail and helps give this little project a finished, decorative look.
Quilt As You Go – A Great Way to Use Scraps
Projects like this are a wonderful way to make use of fabric scraps in your sewing room.
You can change the center message, colors, fabrics, sizes and trims to create something completely different.
You could make:
Small wall hangings
Table decorations
Mug rugs
Decorative panels
Gifts
Seasonal decorations
Small quilted pillows
Home dΓ©cor pieces
The possibilities are endless!
Measure as you go, use what you have, and enjoy the process. That's part of the fun of sewing with scraps!
Rick Rack Trim
I used white rick rack trim to finish the edges of my project.

I kept the “measure as you go” idea prominent because it fits this project beautifully and makes it feel approachable for other sewists who want to work with scraps rather than precise pre-cut kits.
