After lunch, I got started picking out fabric and sewing. Much of the squares came from my pre-cut scrap bins, and the background is a larger scrap from my neutral drawer. The size of that scrap pretty much dictated how big the quilt would be. I was thrilled to have very little of that fabric left - it will quickly be cut up and added to the scrap bins.
I'm moderately pleased with the final result. There seems to be too much white space on the bottom and in the middle, but I'm leaving it. It measures 40" square.
I hope to get the second one pieced by Wednesday, and get at least one quilted (by machine, yikes! but there's no time for hand quilting) this weekend. By next weekend I'd like to have them both ready for delivery. That's pretty ambitious for me, but I'm gonna give it a go.
I'm linking up with Oh Scrap and Monday Making.

Cute quilts. Much more simple than what I chose to make. I'm making 3 at a time. I should have thought of something with bigger squares.
I'm sure you will manage to get them done
