Lucky {me}

Pin It

Would you believe that I have never made a simple patchwork squares quilt?

I've always wanted to but somehow it has never made it to the top of my list.  So when I was asked to make a custom quilt with 3" squares I was thrilled.  My customer sent me fabric to use and she did a great job picking the different prints.  There was even one really cool vintage plaid in there which always makes me happy.

The quilt finishes 36" x 54" and I believe it's going to be a wall hanging.  I quilted it with a meandering free motion pattern.  Simple quilting which really lets the squares stand out.

I even did a little bit of fussy cutting... and can you see that clover in the upper left hand corner of the picture??  I promise I didn't go hunting for a patch of clover to take quilt pictures in.  I just found some grass and a brick wall behind my office and there it was.  Lucky me!

Some of you who know me well are probably smiling at the fact that I made a "green" quilt.  For those of you who don't know, green is not my favorite color but it's actually beginning to grow on me.  And really, how can I resist when I'm working with such fun fabric??

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Don't drink too much green beer today... ;)
