Elate makes simple squares exciting (and efficient!) by way of strip piecing. This project can work well with large prints, bold colors, high- and low- contrast fabrics to soften or emphasize the geometry and design.

This is a scrap-friendly, mix-and-match project that can also work well with just two fabrics or colors. Depending on your mood, you can embrace maximalism or minimalism.

Fabric
