Tip Top Quilt - From the Heart

A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog #ABitofScrapStuff #TipTopQuilt #ABitofScrapStuffPattern #RileyBlakeDesigns #Quilt

Hello! Today I'm sharing my newest quilt - Tip Top Quilt (pattern here) with the From the Heart Collection designed by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs. PLUS the collection has an amazing panel so I made the the quilt reversible!!! Here's a peek at the From the Heart Collection.


I really love the red and white prints!!! Making two-tone quilts is so fun!!! I chose to add a touch of pink for the sashing of my Tip Top Quilt so the red and white prints stand out!

I really love making the Tip Top Quilt (pattern here)! It's a favorite of mine as it uses (36) 2.5" strips and 1 yard background fabric PLUS makes a lap size quilt 56.5" x 56.5". The blocks are fun to make as it's totally 
scrappy and only has the one center seam to match in the entire block.

I used the tiny floral blossom print for the binding and LOVE it!!! I think this might be my favorite print!

Cutting instructions that I used to create From the Heart Panel side of my quilt - Be sure to measure your quilt each step BEFORE cutting your borders as yours may vary slightly. CUT to the length of your quilt.
  • Panel: Cut  35" x 43.5"
  • Inner Border: Cut (2) 2.5" x 43.5" strips (sew to right and left side of panel) and (2) 2.5" x 39" strips (sew to top and bottom of panel)
  • Outer Border: Cut (3) 10.5" x WOF strips - sew together - sub cut (2) 10.5" x 47" strips (sew to right and left and side of inner border). Cut (3) 6.5" x WOF strips - sew together - sub cut (2) 6.5" x 59.5". 
  • From the Heart Panel Quilt measures 59.5" x 59.5". If you are sending your quilt to a long arm quilter - you will need to cut your outer border strips wider to allow for  extra backing required by long arm quilters.
