SPARE SQUARES 2024

 


My second SPARE SQUARES quilt from Lori Holt's SCRAPPINESS IS HAPPINESS book.
I guess this is classified as "curated" scrappy since I stuck to pinks, reds, browns and soft neutral low volume backgrounds. 

The stack of pink blocks sat on the shelf  for about a year patiently waiting for the mood to strike.




This backing was bought for another project which didn't pan out, but I really like it with this quilt.  
It wasn't quite wide enough, not a problem, needed to be used anyway.


Machine quilted in a wonky, wavy grid.  
Wow, so fast and easy after the previous hand quilted one!


Binding machine sewn to the front and hand stitched to the back.  Those last few stitches are always a bit sad, silly but true.

    It's great! I also like to do scrappy quilts in just a couple of colors. I think they look so much better.

    This is a beautiful scrappy quilt. Love the colors you used. Putting the last stitch in the binding is always a celebration for me. LOL

    That is a beauty! It could work in any color combination, but I love the reds and pinks together. The backing is fun, too! Congratulations on your finish!

    Love it! I have all the LV pieces cut for this quilt but haven't dug into the colors to get it done. I love the curated color look of yours! Congrats.

    What caught my attention was the addition of thin neutral border. I love how this solves the problem of the binding "chopping" the outer squares.

    Lovely, I like stitching the binding down too. It's always a "there, all done" statement.

    Love your color choice. The pop of brown works with the reds and pinks. The back is awesome !

    Those blocks needed to simmer to be ready for completion! Very lovely and love the fabric that anchored the back. This will look nice out for Valentine's Day next month.
