"Clean up" quilt project continues

 Good day and welcome to my blog.

 Despite my full time job, I have been able to get into my quilt room this week, and have moved the Clean Up project forward.

It is a pattern by Quilted Twins, and you can find it HERE.  It uses lots and lots of 2 inch squares of fabric!

Previously I blogged about building the big blocks of 10 by 10 squares.  Now I am putting them together:


Three blocks with sashing of more little squares of fabric.  I now have 6 blocks done, and here is my current situation:

There will be vertical sashing between the  columns of more small squares, to be sewn together and inserted.  The pattern calls for for 4 by 4 blocks and border for a finished size of 95 inches square.  I think mine will be a little narrower.

And my box of 2 inch strips and 2 inch squares is not noticeably depleted.

Linking up with Midweek Makers, Wednesday Wait Loss, Needle and Thread Thursday, Put your Foot Down at the Quiltery, Nina-Marie, Finished or Not at Alycia Quilts, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.

I remember making a multi-square pattern and having to cut more!

I swear scrap boxes and boxes of like cut squares breed when you look away!

I've been wondering if I should get rid of my smaller scraps or cut them to 5 inch and 2 1/2 inch squares. I really like how your quilt looks with the little squares. I think that once I get the Christmas gifts done, I will start doing the cutting.

I’ve done a quilt, Growing Up Odd by Wedding Dress Blue. It used 2” squares and solid sashing. It took me forever ! Well, it felt like forever! 😄

I too have made a Growing up Odd quilt. I guess I like small squares.
