Sixth kiddie quilt done! 

More of those unending "squares"

set in fave pattern. 

Same size as last one.

Batting scraps Franken'ed for this.

Hope rain comes today! 

Squares--so many squares!

In the six or so months during which I wasn't blogging, I was dealing with a large influx of legacy stash donations to Community First! Village (its Art House, from which we got thousands of yards of overflow that couldn't be stored or used there) and also directly to Community First! Quilters. Along with the yardage and FQs and scraps left over from garment making, came really crappily-cut (air quote) six-inch (close air quote) squares, hundreds (perhaps even thousands) of them.

There were several multiples, so I started sorting and matching and grouping things together with an eye toward making simple quilts. The subject matter varied wildly, but it was a fun challenge. With the extra fabric thrust upon us I could flesh out the groups of squares into something that ended up around 59"x79" (5.25" finished in an 11x15 grid).

Yesterday I put the final stitches into one of them:

58" x 78"
