Blue puss in the corner is all pieced and ready for quilting. The blocks are 8" finished. These larger blocks were fun and fast to make, perfect for a utility quilt that will be used a lot. Most of the strips came from the 2.5" strip box. I also cut up some smaller dark blue yardage that needed to move along.
It was breezy out when I took the pictures. I had to keep snapping until I finally got a picture that was straight.
Of course some of my mother's fabrics are in there too. I think she must have had a whole bolt of this silver leaf fabric.
This flimsy will be longarm quilted. When I look at the top, I immediately envisioned it with Baptist fan quilting so that's what will be used.
The flimsy size is 82" by 92". This granddaughter has a double bed and the mattress is not the newer thicker size. This size will fit her bed perfectly.

ReplyDeleteI love utility quilts - they usually go quickly and quilt up nicely.
ReplyDeleteIt will look perfect with Baptist Fan quilted on it! Lovely. My grandmother was exceedingly fond of blue, and this looks like a quilt she would have made; probably did, and I just don't recall it!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Puss in the Corner blocks are one of my favorites too. The Baptist fan quilting will be perfect for this quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty blue quilt! Your granddaughter will love it.
ReplyDeleteHi Gretchen! What a beautiful piece and a nice generous size. Your granddaughter will just love it and how wonderful that she will be covered in your love! It's a great use of some of those fabrics that you'd like to move along and now you have room for some new inspiration fabrics. Thanks for linking up today. ~smile~ Roseanne
