Carnival Squares Quilt
Completed: October 2014
Pattern: Carnival Squares by Nancy Smith, a "Strip Your Stash" Craftsy Class pattern
Quilt Size: 36" x 42"
Block Size: 6" finished
Fabric: Drift fabric scraps from previous "Brooklyn Blues" quilt. Used flannel fabric for backing and binding.
Technique: Created fabric "yardage" by sewing various size strips together. Cut 6.5" square blocks on diagonal. Quilted blocks with wavy lines on batting squares and used quilt-as-you-go method / stitch-in-the-ditch technique to attach whole cloth backing fabric. Used quilt back as binding fabric for the first time.
Tutorial: Binding a quilt with the quilt back
Notes: First time using method described in Quilt-As-You-Go Made Modern by Jera Brandvig which makes domestic machine quilting easier.
CARE - 100% cotton fabric; machine wash and tumble dry. All Thread Projects quilts are pre-washed in cold water and pre-shrunk in a hot dryer before gifting.
