Choose fabric squares that are in the same color family if you would like to coordinate the fabrics, or choose a mix of different fabrics for a more eccentric look.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_682752151-500x334.jpg\" alt=\"leftover fabric squares\" class=\"wp-image-40862 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_682752151-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_682752151-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_682752151-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_682752151-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_682752151.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/334;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_682752151-500x334.jpg\" alt=\"leftover fabric squares\" class=\"wp-image-40862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_682752151-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_682752151-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_682752151-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_682752151-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_682752151.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quilt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People typically use fabric squares to <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/category\/quilting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make quilts<\/a>. You can make a quilt out of essentially any kind of fabric square, ranging from printed muslin fabrics to cotton t-shirts that have sentimental value for you. To make a quilt, gather many fabric squares, depending on how large you would like the quilt to be. Arrange them in a way that you like before you start sewing. Then use a sewing machine to attach all of the different fabric squares together to create one large quilt. If you would like, attach some muslin or other cotton fabric to the back of the quilt afterward, to make it sturdier.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_635749994-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"leftover fabric squares\" class=\"wp-image-40858 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_635749994-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_635749994-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_635749994-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_635749994-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_635749994.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/333;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_635749994-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"leftover fabric squares\" class=\"wp-image-40858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_635749994-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_635749994-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_635749994-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_635749994-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_635749994.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skirt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make a skirt out of fabric squares, start by attaching the fabric squares together.

Since you can use a combination of coordinating patterns and colors with the fabric squares, this kind of tablecloth is an effective way to brighten a space or match the d\u00e9cor that you already have. To make a tablecloth, first, measure the table that you would like to cover. Ensure that you sew it large enough that there will be at least a few inches of overhang on each side.
