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.








Will I do this pattern again?
Maybe.

It's a great one for extra 1.5 and 2.5 inch scraps.
