It's A Finish! Unchained Melody

 

It's a finish!
Unchained Melody
55 x 70

I made the top last year (and several others) when I was working on emptying out a box of 3 inch width strips and squares. 

616 three inch squares in cream,tan,taupe,beige,brown.

I arranged the squares by value. 

I used waste triangles to make chains in all colors of the rainbow. 

There are some fun things that can be found in an itty bitty triangle. 
I quilted with vertical lines each side of the seams in variegated threads. The binding is scrappy browns. 

And sew on...

  4. I remember when you made this top. It is one of my favorites of your quilts. Of course I love any quilt that has a wash of color from light to dark.

  10. I feel like I could sit and look at this quilt for hours! I’ve been keeping the scrap triangles from my bindings and from scraps given to me. I have a small basket of them. This is a great way to use them!
