this little quilt has been in progress for about 2 years...i'm so glad it's finally done!
to piece it, i used skinny strings that were too small to hold seam allowances, so i foundation pieced them onto fabric and left the edges raw.
it's a little quilt, only 33" x 44". i LOVE the colors. LOVE them!
and did i mention that it's all scraps?
the backing....oh, boy! this has to be my best backing find ever. it came from joanns. can you believe it? as soon as i saw it i knew it was perfect for this. i love the simple green polka dot on the binding, too.

to quilt it, i stitched in the ditch between the rectangles. i chose this option because of the extra weight of the foundation fabric under the strips. i didn't want to mess around with a lot of heavy quilting. a nice side effect is that the quilting makes a nice simple grid on the back, which you really can't see on the photo, but it's there.
i love this little quilt and so does my daughter. she's amassing quite a pile of little quilts at the end of her bed.
