This quilt has 1,552 little two inch squares. Cut over a period of 3 years. They finish at 1.5" The sashing is a vanilla ice cream colored grunge. I wish I could find a name for the fabric but there is only a number.The original pattern is from Wedding Dress Blues and was set 5x5 and was 90" x 90". Mine is 4x4 and 71"x71".
A bonus will be to get the backing pieced. I’m using a pair of used navy blue twill curtains! Because it’s to be a picnic quilt or throw on the ground to sit on quilt, I wanted a dark color no nonsense sturdy backing. And I had the curtains! Wish me luck!

Growing up Odd is just beautiful, Judy! So glad you have it pulled out to work on the finishing. Your backing plans sound perfect for a "throw on the ground" quilt!
ReplyDeleteI like your idea, finishing UFO's by color is cool.
ReplyDeleteLooking for seeing your progress on this one.
That is a *lot* of squares! And I'm all for using up as much as possible, so use those twill curtains
ReplyDeleteFinishing UFOs by color is a great idea! Love your scrappy quilt.
