I saw this idea in a magazine, half square triangles, one side black/white fabric and one side bright fabric. Of course I was hooked. Sometimes I sew the blocks together randomly, or like this, together in a bunch. The back is 12" squares using fabric from the front.
I had a stack of squares left from another project, so I put them together for this quilt. I rather like simple quilts like this. The back is a pretty pink flowers. I quilted in straight line on either side of the seam line, vertically and horizontal. Takes a lot of thread but not as much time as you would think. These two quilts will go to the charity, The Linus Project. They take quilts for children in distress, either ill, or in foster care.
A friend from church had made this quilt for a new grandbaby. She asked me to quilt it for her her. As a reward, I got the left over fabric from the backing and the cotton batting which will be useful for the pot holders I'm making for Christmas presents. I love this backing material, it'll take me some time to find the best use for it.
