I have finished this fun little quilt (34" x 45") this week!! It started with a dozen little off white wonky squares which were precuts I acquired somewhere along the way and late last year I cut out a colourful little heart for each one and then added slow stitching in a variety of ways to secure them to the squares as a slow stitching activity. Once they were finished I then added them to a substrate square (from my stash) and stitched on a variety of bright strips all around them in a sort of loose log cabin manner. This past week I trimmed them to 8.5" square which was the smallest of them and then added royal blue sashing between them. My daughter had brougth along some fabric when she came a few weeks ago and I thought that this green stripe would work very well for the backing. I added a single layer of cotton between the top and the back and stitched rainbow thread all around the squares to attach all the layers to each other. I brought the backing to the the front and bound the edge with it. I love how it worked out. It was fun to work on this quilt from the slow stitching to the final step of sewing down the binding. It is headed to Linus Project!! Therese
