woven finish

We had the prettiest, fluffy snowfall, and, I was anxious to get a photo of this recent finish. What a fun combination. I started this quilt last year, as part of the rainbow scrap challenge. Every month I made the 4 patches in the color of the month from 2 1/2 inch squares. Otherwise, it would have been a quick and easy quilt to make.


I used a variegated thread and a free motion swirl pattern. It finished at 54 x 60 inches, and has 429 pieces, and used 7 1/4  yards of fabric ( mostly scraps ). I used my sewing machine for the binding. I am getting happier with the results of machine binding.


The back was a really nice sheet from goodwill. The legs were from my husband. lol


This quilt is part of my one monthly goal for February and one of my PHD 2020.

    Fantastic! Love the layout of the simple 4-patches. Made a beautiful quilt. Not sure which I like more -- the pretty background setting or hubby's supportive legs! Lol! Have a great week!

    Good for you for actually using scraps over going for a quick make. Your quilting is wonderful. And I like to use sheets for backings too. Congrats on the finish!

    I love this! I hope you don't mind if I decide to do something similar with my scraps? I have abundance of 2 & 2.5" squares and lots of blacks and this would be perfect!
