Quilted, and Bound, and Ready to Hand Over


In March of last year, a gal from the quilting group handed me a stack of 4" squares that someone had cut and asked if I wanted to try to do something with them. Her suggestion was that I sew them all together the way they were.

Anyone who's ever read my blog knows that isn't how I do things. I cut the 4" squares down to 2" squares....then assembled them into 3 1/2" four-patch blocks, then put those together into 12" blocks and added some sashing...

Then it sat because I didn't have a way to quilt it at the house and didn't want to turn it in to have someone else quilt it and I couldn't work up the motivation to stitch in the ditch.

It feels good to finally have this done. Next, I'm going to tackle those pink churn dash blocks.

  2. I love it too! Very bright and simple, I like the bright blue sashing, many folks would have used white which is nice too but I love color!

  8. 4" squares would've been too big for me, too. Your solution is super. The blue sashing sets the colorful blocks off very nicely. Congratulations on a finish!
