Another small quilt I quilted last week was Blue Squares that I pieced in July using 10" squares. He was fast and easy to piece.
I need the rush of some completed projects after the stress of piecing that last Nearly Insane block, so, after finishing the quilting on Circle of Squares, I pinned Blue Squares and quilted him.
He got simple straight line quilting. The lines are approximately 1" apart. I'm not going to stress out about not perfectly straight lines. He measures 54" x 56". In a perfect world, he would have been square but within 2 inches, that's close enough.
I added a white flange to the binding to add some zing!
For the backing fabric, I used the last of mom's border fabrics. There wasn't enough fabric so I pulled these other blocks from the leftover block box.
Another charity quilt finished, too large for a crib quilt but too small for a throw. Hopefully he will go to the right person and be a perfect fit for them.

I love the simplicity of this finish. It's simply beautiful, and a perfect illustration of how one doesn't need a complex pattern to create a masterpiece.
Thank you for your participation at the Show and Tell Monday !! Bambi hug
Cute! I really like the random addition of the circle block!
Hi Gretchen,
Wow, that little white flange really does add some zing to the finished quilt. It is really pretty, I think. I love the color combination of blue and white! I would think the recipient will not really care about the size - just that it is special and just for them. ~smile~ Roseanne
So pretty, and I love the one circle amongst the squares!
Lovely quilt, I like the back almost as well as the front!
I love the back! :)
So simple and so effective, love the circle. I always quilt with organic (not always straight) lines too.
thanks for linking to Sew, Stitch, Snap, Share.
That circle block really adds interest. Nice finish!

I like how the circle sneaks into all the blue squares.
