Double Four Patch Finish

It's a finish!
Double Four Patch
60 x 72

I started making blocks in January 2022 to use some brown scraps. By March 2022 I had a complete set of 120 blocks and set them aside in my SAR (Some Assembly Required) box. At the beginning of this month I assembled the top because the theme in my sewing room this month has been "brown stuff".

I quilted it on my DSM with diagonal lines going through the chains. I used a variegated brown thread which seemed pointless since the quilt front and backs are too busy to notice the variegation; however, that's what I had on hand that went best with the quilt.

All of he scrappy brown pieces for the binding came out of the leftover bindings box. 

And it seems I've been a little short this month on one fabric backings for my quilts. 

And sew on...

    Brown might not be a favourite colour but it sure makes a warm-looking quilt every time. This one is no exception. Lovely, and a great way to use up those scraps. Bravo! ;^)

    Love the quilt and the quilting. That seems to be a good lap size. When I finish up my larger UFOs, I plan to stick with the smaller ones.

    Looks like a great quilt to sit under and eat some homemade bread and butter. Very cozy.

    Fantastic quilt! I love the chains. (And right now a little voice in the back of my head is whispering 'wouldn't that be nice in oranges? or purples...')

    That combination really works well. And I love that block in the allover design.
