Reversible Quilted Bib with Pocket

Step 2 Make the patchwork front

There are multiple steps within this step; hopefully the photos will help make everything clear.

To make the patchwork piece for the front of the bib:

1. Choose 4-8 coordinating cotton fabrics and cut them into strips 3 inches wide and of random lengths (3-10 inches or so long)

2. Decide on a layout the strips. You need four rows as shown; be sure to stagger the seams for a random look. You want your patchwork piece to be at least 10 by 15 inches after it's sewn so it should be 4 strips wide and at least 15 inches long once your strips are joined.

3. Sew the pairs of strips end to end to make the four rows each at least 15 inches long (they can be longer)

4. Then sew the four strips together side to side and press the completed patchwork

To make the patchwork piece for the pocket (no photos of this, sorry):

Follow the same steps as above but use 4 strips of fabric to make a piece of patchwork at least 5 inches wide and 12 inches long.

With all patchwork sewing (including this bib) sew with the good sides of the fabric facing each other and using a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
