My Rectangle Square Quilt is done!!

I got this quilt quilted and bound by late last night.

Washed and dried....

I took photos this morning and now its gone to school to be gifted to my daughters teacher.

It was a fun little quilt to make.

It finished at approximately 60 inches square.

All the fabric, except for about a half meter of the Kona Bone sashing came from my stash.

Even the backing is from my stash.

You can see in the photo of the back of the quilt how I ended up quilting it.

I used my walking foot to do straight lines a quarter inch from the sashing lines in one direction.

Then stippled between these lines. 

I think it adds a nice touch to the plain back.

I used PicMonkey to edit my photos.

This program used to run Picnic....but now its even better than before.

And so user friendly.

Love it!!!

Well, I hope you like my quilt.

I now have a finish for OPAM!!

Yeah!!

A quilt top in progress....

Hi everyone!

I haven't been blogging much this month.

I've been super busy.

Today, I finally got to do some sewing!

I stared this morning to make a quilt for my daughters school teacher.

She's had the same teacher for the last two years,

and she just loves her.

She wanted me to make her a quilt.

I figured a lap quilt would be a nice gift.

I was inspired by these two quilts.

You can see them here and here.

I liked the idea of using narrow 1 inch strips with larger squares and rectangles.

My squares are 5 inches square and the rectangles are 5" x 10".

I've got 36 blocks made and part of the quilt top sewn together.

I'm using a fat quarter bundle of Heirloom by Joel Dewberry.

I've had this in my stash for a while.

This is a layer cake friendly pattern using my dimensions.

The colors in these photo's aren't true.

But it was dark when I took these.

I hope to have this top done tomorrow.

I'm running short of time.

Schools out next week.

Hugs
