Scrapalicious, designed by Lisa Bee-Wilson, was originally made as a fresh, springtime lap quilt:

We liked the easy-to-piece design so much, we decided to write an additional pattern for a queen size option. In Lisa’s design, Four-Patch Blocks combine with pieced sashing strips to create a beautiful, interesting grid effect. And the pattern is very adaptable to alternate fabrications. Imagine Americana colors, 1930s repros, Asian-themed prints…there are any number of ways to spin this one! And when you’re finished, you’ll have a dynamic quilt like this one:

Whether you use the free quilt pattern to make a queen size quilt (not shown), or downsize to suit your own tastes, we know you’ll enjoy making a Scrapalicious quilt to call your own.

Now, how about that surprise photo?
