Shortcut Quilts just got a whole lot faster with the addition of Pebble Bee Cross Stitch Precuts! By replacing background yardage with a background precut, you can cut to the chase and start piecing in a flash. Last week on the blog, we showed you how you can use the Pebble Bee Cross Stitch Precuts with Foundation Paper. This week, we have three cute Shortcut Quilts recolored with Gentler Times and Pebble Bee Cross Stitch precuts because it only takes one pebble to start an avalanche of inspiration!
One of the things we love most about these precuts is their ability to give a cohesive feel to a scrappy quilt while reducing the number of cuts you need to make at the cutting table. Keep reading to see the three quilt recolors we cooked up for you, their original Shortcut Quilt Video Tutorials, and a full list of the supplies you need to make each one!
