From Fabric Stash to Quilt Tops
When Aunt Lorraine came for a several-day visit she was determined to work with some fabric. Heck ya . . . I had that! We used up the dedicated stash making all the squares finished at 6″.
These six inch blocks did finish out at 68″ x 86″ for a twin sized quilt once it is paired with a backing and batting.
Hip-Hip-Hurray! All of the colorful scraps have been put in place. It was a challenge to find a placement that was totally different from the first quilt top. This would actually fit a king sized bed at 98″ x 101″. Some additional stitching on the borders during the quilting process will add dimension as it works with the batting for a bit of a puff. I have not worked towards or even thought about what backing fabrics to pair for these two tops. This was a project that was not easy on the eyes when it came time to placing the blocks on these two quilt tops. “Step back and blink, blink.” True to myself I feel great about using up what was on hand. In time to come these two will be finished, ready to offer comfort, warmth and cuddle time. A big thank you to Aunt Lorraine for the enthusiasm and help with all the cutting.
