No, not a novel this time. The latest quilt!

It’s a scrap quilt, so 95% of the material in it was left over from other projects.

It was also a pain in the ass to finish.

Each one of those squares had to be cut individually. Then I stitched light and a dark squares together. It would take two seams – both from one corner across the center to the diagonal corner. Then I’d cut between the seams, making two squares of the different colors.

After that, I assembled the two-colored squares into bigger square, four by fours.

Once I finished creating all the bigger squares, I assembled them into rows. Then attached the rows to each other.

Finally sewed the center pieces all together. Added the color strips on the outside.

Here, we have the back:

Around the center gray and blue rectangles, you’ll see a row of the left-over squares from the front of the quilt, sewn together. Then much more left over fabric.

I took the quilt to a nearby shop for them to actually “quilt” it together with the batting in the center. I’ll do the final binding around the edges by hand. Then, I will have a new quilt! Yay!
