Every once in a while, I come across some fabric in my stash that I decide just needs to go.
I recently came across a half yard of some numbers fabric. To complement it, I added in a bunch of stray solids that had all been used in previous projects.
That is all I needed to get some blocks started!
The blocks consisted of a simple 9 patch made from 2.5" squares.
I then framed those with some 2" strips.
I now have a colorful 39 x 49" quilt.
I decided to sash the blocks with some black and white text fabric just to make it a bit larger.
I cut the sashing at 1.5" wide.
You can also see the quilting in this photo. I used a variegated thread and quilted it vertically with some doubled up serpentine lines.
Easy Peasy!
I did struggle a bit to find a backing for this one. All of my yard cuts were too small and my large cuts just seemed a waste to use. I did end up using a piece of a wide backing I bought from Connecting Threads. The colors were just too perfect!
This little quilt was certainly a fast finish. It cleaned up a lot of odd fabrics hanging out in my stash.
So far it has no home - I am guessing it will eventually get donated.
Now it is time to see what else I can purge from my stash!

Cute, cute, cute! I remember when you started these blocks and it's fun to see them all together and quilted up into a finish :)

What a fun and fast little quilt! I don't know how many times a yard cut of fabric has been just a tiny bit too short!
