Squiggles is a simple stich-and-flip quilt made from a traditional pattern and Charm Packs.

Watch Christa in Show 2409. In it, she shares tips for quick and easy quilt blocks using pre-cuts (2 1/2" Jelly Rolls and 5” square Charm Packs). Not one to waste fabric, Christa shares a fast and fun way to make improv blocks. It’s a great way to use leftover scraps.
