Thanks to Amy's Creative Side for hosting another fine Quilt Festival.
Laura's Quilt -- This quilt started out as a Tossed Nine Patch but became so busy you couldn't see the design. So, I found another idea from Film in the Fridge's Timber Quilt to use my 'already cut squares.' I sewed two red squares together to make the rectangle and then cut the chartreuse fabric squares into thirds for the narrow strips.
Since the quilt was wider than 44" I added a wide improv strip of the leftover scraps to the back to make it wide enough for the top.
The label was sewn into the back on top of the pieced strip.
I'm sure going to miss Laura. She's leaving today but plans to come back and visit, often, I hope!
red being my favourite colour this quilt would be easy to fall in love with!
