Here is a portion of Greg's college bound quilt..
.I have made 25 blocks and each one has 18 (2.5") little squares --
sewn into three strips, separated by three maroon-ey strips...(.I can't get far enough away from my design wall in my tiny sewing room to get a full picture...)
Here are two other portions:
AND this:
I hope to sew them together this week. They (obviously)
need trimming up to one consistent size.
A lot of these squares are from the swap I did two years ago and also some mini-charm packs--
so,---- 2.5" per square is just a "suggestion". Hahaha....
;0000
I have ironed all the seams open--lots of up and down from my sewing chair--that has to count for something, right????;)))
Today was a blessed relief from heat and humidity --lovely cool breezes from the
northwest flooded our area....aaaaaahhhhhh

P.S. Am now collecting red 2.5" squares for the other twin's (Connor) quilt
--so far I have 222--I need a total of 450
uhh....
that's how many I used in Greg's quilt...and yes, I am crazee
about working with squares that is....and maybe just a little mentally, ya think????

What a great quilt this is for your grandson at College - he's going to treasure it for ever and who is he going to be thinking of when he's cosy and warm?
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! I love the way the colours all blend together.
ReplyDeletegreat quilt for Greg
ReplyDeleteLucky Greg, this is such a lovely guy quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove how this is coming out! Great quilt especially for a guy. The blocks all look great together! Hear the humidity is coming back. Not looking forward to that!
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit cooler here too. OMG the heat was so bad our AC melted and blew two capacitors. Do you need some more squares? Betcha I have some... about 2.5" lol

I love how you are making your blocks with the purples like the figs, etc. We are still hot and muggy. Urgh!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pattern to take advantage of a collection of squares! I'm positive he'll always treasure it!
ReplyDeleteWOW... that's a lot of squares!
ReplyDeleteI agree, what a great pattern choice, a perfect Guy quilt.
I'm sure he is going to be thrilled with it!
Any particular color? I have an extensive stash...
