Sew I finally got the quilting and binding done on this cot sized quilt. It all came out of my stash, apart from the cute dot border fabric I brought on sale at Periwinkle Patchwork when we were on summer holidays.
I just quilted diagonal lines in the bocks and stippled in the border. This quilted used up some of the Rainbow Scrappy challenge star blocks and four patches that I have been making for the last few years.
Somehow for no apparent reason I have not made a single RSC block this year. When I think it through its because I dont have any neutrals cut. I do have a small collection of stash left (that is not reproduction fabric) but the majority of the neutrals are very cream/.tan and I was enjoying the white neutrals in this quilt with the clearer colours. However scrap reduction must continue, so cutting some more 2.5 inch strips in neutrals is getting bumped up the to do list priority, so I can reduce my scraps and make some more charity quilts.
Happy quilting Sue.
It is a great finish--a very fun, happy quilt that someone will be thrilled to receive.
