Four-squares

Sunday has come and gone and I have a quilt top to show for it!

Lemmy and I got started bright and early in the morning.

And by dinner time, Burton and I had a finished top, complete with three borders.

I’m very pleased with this one. Especially considering it came together pretty quickly.

I used almost all of the layer cake – just six squares were leftover. That green butterfly border was from the layer cake too. It didn’t work with the layout for the main blocks, but it was too pretty not to use. So I sliced it up and had just enough for a skinny border.

The stash yielded up this the most beautiful butterfly flannel for the back (seriously – could it be more perfect?) and I had just enough of that dark green for binding. And when I say just enough, I mean it. There was barely a sliver left when it was cut up. Sometimes, things just come together perfectly!

Now I have four tops, and a date set with Mom to get them quilted! Stay tuned!

    Stunning! That backing is perfect. Brrrrr…..it’s wet and cold up here at Daughter’s where I’m kid sitting again. I could use a nice flannel backed quilt right now.
