Scrappy Mini Quilt Keychain

Today I will show you how I made a mini quilted keychain using a quilt-as-you-go method!

I decided to start with a really small beginner’s project to build my confidence, thus this keychain.

Materials Needed:

– Backing fabric square – mine was 4″ x 4″ – Batting fabric square  – Fabric scraps – Scrap of ribbon – Two buttons

STEP 1

So I already had the backing fabric cut into a square from when I had cut up a bunch of scraps. The backing square was 4″ by 4″ so I took that as my starting point.

Choose your backing fabric.

STEP 2

If you have cotton batting to hand you can absolutely use it for this.

Cut your batting square.

The main thing I was looking for was for each strip to stretch across the batting square diagonally.

Pick your Scraps!

STEP 3

STEP 4

I placed my first two strips right sides together diagonally on my batting square and sewed through the strips, the batting and the backing all at once.

Get quilting!

STEP 5

When I was done sewing on my strips I flipped the block over and pinned back the excess backing fabric.

Cut off excess

STEP 6

Once the edges were all cleaned up I folded each side of the backing fabric over twice and placed over the edge of the batting square. I then stitched it!
