Have you ever come across a skinny little strip of fabric that you’ve saved and wondered “what the heck am I ever going to do with this?!?” I designed the Knee Socks Quilt Block with tiny strips like those in mind.
The scrappy version uses 40 different scraps, starting at just 1″ x 5-1/2″.
If you prefer to use larger scraps, make the solids version. It uses 12 different scraps ranging in size from 5-1/2″ to 8″.
This block was inspired by the rainbow-colored athletic socks of the 1980′s, so don’t hesitate to have fun with it and use plenty of color!



Amazing! I have to sew one!
Love it…..i do have many skinny small strips and can see doing something like this…..after following all that I see on this, I joined the MQG group for my area……and much to my surprise , I know a few of the members……hope to start my creative juices to flow more…..
LOVE it! Amazing how much these blocks DO look like athletic socks from back in the day!! : )
this is AWESOME!
What a great way to use up those skinny strips! I guess I’ll start digging them out of the trash can in my sewing room! Love it!
Terrific ~ clever idea and I love the solid version! A wonderful way to use up a lot of my strips.
Thanks for sharing!
Love the solids
lovely! great block – and a great name
Love this, reminds me of striped sweaters.
I like your quilt. I am curious how you will quilt that once the top is finished.
Love it!
Love it, this pattern has great potential.
Just when I thought it was safe to throw something away!!!
Really like this!
