I
chose to use different sizes of squares in the centers of my blocks to
create an offset look. Light centers, medium light blue for one side and
then a medium blue for the other two sides. Then a dark blue for the
lattice strips. I staggered my blocks in each row to offset those too!
finishing the outside with a medium blue border and binding to complete
my quilted tablecloth.
I choose to work with blues, because it was comfortable for me for the first challenge.

Here is my post on how I constructed the blocks and the quilt.
I finished the quilting right before the Packer Game last night.
I finished the binding this morning.
Thanks for the help selecting the backing fabric.
Love the colorful backing fabric with my dishes!
Just got these blue bowls for Christmas. I may have to cook sometime and use them. Or just take photos of them with quilts.
I shared the construction of my blocks and quilt - here:
Thanks Kim for the another fun challenge for Project Quilting! If you would like to see all the Quilted Projects created for the Square in a Square challenge click here.

very cute, I love blues!
ReplyDeletenever did binding that way, always sew on to the back by hand, but I DO have that stitch on my machine, worth a try...
This came out so lovely - and dual purpose is always a plus. Oh, that is close to the blue thread I used. This was a fun experience for me and I look forward to the next challenge.
ReplyDeleteOK... I gotta say I LOVE blues too! I can never get tired of looking at things made with blue. I really love your "squared" quilt!! it's great! I'm feeling strongly inspired to try one of these quilts...and I think I want to do blue too!
