All in a Day's Work...

Yesteray, I saw quilt somewhere on Pinterest (and I can't find it now to show you), but it got me thinking.  Usually I don't use a lot of grey, but I found a cute piece with dots awhile back, and bought a yard.  I'd also cut some blocks and strips to make a quilt at the retreat last fall, and decided I didn't like what I'd planned.  However, the colors in the quilt on Pinterest reminded me of those pieces, and they were put with grey and looked beautiful!

So, I got out the pieces, and went to work.  Originally, I'd planned the green squares for blocks, the blue strips for sashing, and the white squares for joining sashing.

 I cut the squares in half, the strips 1/2-inch shorter, make some 3 x 5 1/2 blocks from the grey polka-dot, and the white squares will be saved for another project.

 All the "waste" there was from changing plans, not too bad!

 The blocks, all in order.

Sewn together.

 I think this combination works well.

 The completed quilt.

 I used polyester batting for the "puffy" look, and "stitch-in-the-ditch" for the quilting.  Levi was laughing at the term "Stitch-in-the-ditch", I'm assuming he was thinking of my sewing machine sitting out in the ditch?

I took the completed photos today, but actually finished the entire quilt yesterday!

 I love the puffy feel that the batting gives, it's really "cushy" and very snuggly.

If only all my projects went that smoothly!
