A House Warming Gift
A simple, but fun and bright quilt using 2.5 inch squares and 6.5 inch squares. I saw a similar one on pinterest (which I would love to link up to here but I can't find) and fell in love with it, so made one to gift away.
This was a great project to use up some of my 2.5 inch squares as well as a variety of my leftover whites and off-whites.
My brother and sister-in-law have lots of grandchildren, so I figure this will come in handy at their house when family is over. They just finished building a new home .... voila, a house warming gift.
I had hoped to hand quilt this one, but went with machine quilting....some free motion and some straight lines with the walking foot. The reason I couldn't hand quilt is that I used an Egyptian cotton sheet for the backing and it was very hard to push a needle though it. The backing does feel lovely and smooth though!
54" x 66" (before shrinkage)
