So, I went out to my local fabric store and bought one charm pack which are 42 5" squares. Forty two, I thought. That will make a whole quilt. Bless my heart.
Sorry for the picture quality. They all have too much light.
Once I layed out the squares, I realized I needed more just to make it baby quilt size. So, I cut out some solid whites and added those. 
Anyway, this quilt sat in the UFO pile for some time. I didn't really like the fabric I had chosen and I didn't have anyone to give it to so I didn't see a reason to finish it. Plus it was pretty wonky. Seams that REALLY didn't match. Borders that were just WRONG. It was a hot mess.
But a couple months ago, I got it back out (in my effort to finish some of my UFO's this summer) and I quilted it and bound it.
It's still a hot mess but it's a finished hot mess. I think that I will keep it so that I can see where I started and see my progress as I go along. I still need to work on my binding but I'm getting pretty good at piecing and my quilting is improving.
Statistics on this quilt:
Fabric - Moda but I don't remember the line, white fabric is also Moda. The polka dotted fabric that I used on the back and for the wonky border was a fabric in the line. My binding fabric, the green and white stripe, is from Scrumptious by Bonnie and Camille.
Size - Approximately 40 inches by 40 inches.

Isn't it nice to finish up a UFO that has been set aside? This is a very cute quilt, I adore the pieced back and your binding looks great with Camille's bias stripe!
ReplyDeleteThis can't be your first time binding? It's perfect. Congratulations on your cute finished quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed. Keep it for a while and someone will be sure to need a baby quilt before too long. Then it can go to a loving home.
