I made this ispy for my daughter. We collected fabric for years in various sizes mostly FQ. And ultimately I decided on a 5" square. So I have tons of leftover scraps that I spent a fortune on.
But that's what you get when you make it up as you go along!
I used the skinny precut for the sashing. Hunny bun?
We laid them out one 16 patch at a time. It was too mind boggling to get all 192 coordinated. It was easier with the 16 patch block. I sashed them like a tick tack toe squares, no doing the outsides. Then joining the blocks finished it up. The WOF sashings were perfect lengths. The block was a half a strip wide! It took 3.5 straps per block for all the inner sashing.
The outer border needed a little more size, so I did a 2.5" strip for that one.
The backing is black wide Minky. The quilting was by Quilted Thimble a local shop in Belmont, NC. The pattern was twisted ribbons I think?
Hope you like it! She took it from me as soon as we got it back from the quilters and I haven't gotten the binding on yet. Probably a project for the two of us over Christmas break.
