Another big finish this week.
The binding finally fell into place on this
Rainbow Framed, String Quilt.
Measuring a nice queen sized, this will be added to my
Cozy Collection. The need may arise
for it to be gifted, but for now I am
calling it part of my Cozy 12! Found
on numerous Pinterest sites, I sewed my own
way by rearranging the colors and
adapting the block and lattice to fit my
favorite ruler size.
The blocks check in at 7 1/2" using a
2" diagonal center strip. White was used
here as I used it before and the crisp
white makes the colors pop!
It is set on point.
Rows of blocks
11 across, 12 down to make a whooping
81" x 88" in size.
I always have some of these blocks on the go.
They are fun to sew up, and great taming
of assorted small scrap piles. Sewing up
extra blocks helps in using the blocks
made in error when I read the pattern.
I always seem to make too many!
Smaller blocks can be used to make a matching
infant quilt too! Another pattern that is very addicting!
Linking up with:
A very fun scrappy finish. Hope you get a chance to cozy under it once the temps start dropping.

DeleteBeautiful!!! and the binding fell into place? So does it just magically happen - and you wake up one morning and the quilt is bound?? can you send those fairies to me haha!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously - LoVE all the color in this one!!!
Haha, I so wish it did that! The colored sections were mostly cut or in strips from trimming off quilt tops. Glad you enjoy my stitching, I will try to corral you some fairies!
