An Eight Patch Finish


Eight Patch
It's a finish!
60 x 80

I started making these blocks in 2021to use up 1930s reproduction and shirt scraps. Whenever I came across 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch width '30s or shirt scraps enough to cut 4- 2.5 x 3.5 rectangles I did. Then after I started accumulating a variety of rectangles I started making blocks. 

 This year I cut fabrics enough to finish off the blocks I needed for a top and made the top.

I quilted it on my DSM (Brother PQ1500) with ribbons/streamers.

The binding is scrappy.



The backing is the last of the plaid yardage I bought back when Hancock's fabric went out of business. 

And sew on...



Oh Scrap! at Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

  3. Lovely colours really show off the rectangle pattern. Great backing, shame it’s all used. On to the next finish now?

  4. What colorful fun! I've meant to ask-- do you make multi-fabric backs with or without incorporating blocks or other units?

  5. I always love simple quilts the best! This looks like it would be a good leader/ender quilt.
