The Comforts of Home block goes together quickly and is a nice choice for your next scrap quilt. You'll use a combination of strip piecing and quick piecing techniques to construct this patchwork quilt block.
Follow the instructions to make three identical blocks from your fabric stash. Repeat all steps to make as many blocks as needed for your quilt, varying the fabrics in each set of three to keep things scrappy.
