Uploaded January 2023 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
Welcome to the Scrap Fabric Love Scrap Buster Sew Along 2023! We are making plus sign quilt blocks (sometimes called Swiss cross blocks) and we are only using our fabric scraps!
You can make any number of blocks and you will get finishing options for these in week 3 of the sew-along.
In todays video, I am giving an overview of how the quilt along is going to work, a tutorial on how to make the quilt blocks and the three variations I have for this.
Next week we’ll talk more about layouts, troubleshooting, quilt as you go options and I’ll answer any questions I get following this video.
Feel free to leave me a comment to ask a question, email me at hello@scrapfabriclove.com or tag me on instagram @scrapfabriclove
You can also use the hashtag #scrapfabriclovesewalong to share your progress photos or you can email me your photos too - I would love to share some on the channel.
Are you in?
What kind of scraps are you using for your plus blocks?
