Another February Finish!

/ quiltinggail

So Scrappy provides a different colour each month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. January’s colour was “Pink.” I pulled out all my Island Batik scraps and started to play. I started out with rectangles that were 2 1/4” x 4 1/2“. I know it’s a super weird size, but my binding is cut at 2 1/4” and I started out with cutting binding scraps. I added a 1″ of solid white between the 2 rectangles.

I wasn’t sure if I would have enough blocks for a totally pink quilt and thought I’d add another colour into the mix. It turned out that I had enough to make this baby quilt.

I don’t know what I was thinking when I made the sashing 1″ wide and the cornerstones were 1″ squares that finished at 1/2” square. The quilt would have been bigger and easier to assemble if I had made the sashing 2″ wide and the cornerstones 2″ square. However, I did get it assembled, quilted and bound. The simple quilting was straight line with a walking foot on my domestic sewing machine. The label is already on it – ready for donation at the next guild meeting.

  2. Hi Gail, that is a lovely donation quilt. It’s nice to be able to use the walking foot, rulers or FMQ depending on the look and the effort you want to put into it. I only learned last year that working with larger pieces is much easier than smaller ones lol Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks!
