I made a quilt for someone going through chemotherapy back in 2017 and called it Cheerful Patch. I loved it so much that I wanted to make a similar one for me. This quilt uses a lot of the same fabrics but is bigger with bigger squares.
I selected the fabrics and cut six squares out of each that were seven inches big. Then I laid them on the floor. The quilt is 16 by 16 squares and finishes about 104 inches square.
I wasn't able to sew them together at the time (April 2021). It was another year before I was able to piece the squares all together.
I had darling company who was shopping and having a baby doll day care.
For such a large quilt, it quilted up pretty fast.
I know I say this a lot, but I love how it turned out.
It is definitely cheerful in my bedroom.

The bright and cheerful colors are perfect for April!

ReplyDeleteMan I need to make a quilt nice and big like that! Maybe there wouldn't be the tug o'war there sometimes is...
