Yay! Here it is, my simple patchwork quilt all finished!
I really like the way this quilt turned out. From the very beginning it was meant to be a quilt for a boy (always a major challenge for me). I think this color combo of blue, yellow, green, and gray worked so well. I love how fresh and modern it looks yet it has that wonderful old time charm thanks to the simple patchwork pattern.
I used 180 5" x 5" squares for the quilt top and went with a beautifully soft gray flat sheet for the backing.
I quilted the whole quilt in double horizontal and vertical straight lines.
I then used this fun Oliver +S green fabric with tiny white and yellow polka dots for the binding, which I always, always attach by the machine.
Finished size of this quilt is 54" x 68". I love making quilts this size, they are big enough to snuggle in yet not too huge for dragging around the house.
Hope you have an awesome day, everyone! Svetlana
