I finished the last 8 blocks and this is the final layout. Since I have an uneven number of blocks in both directions none of the symmetrical layouts would work unless I had it off center. I will sew it together today. It should finish at approximately 77" x 99". I had intended to make it smaller but somehow I just had to fill that whole double design wall with one row barely hanging onto the right edge. It will have a dark binding to finish it off, whatever plaid or stripe I have enough of to do the job.
I thought is was appropriate to finish these two mug rugs last night as they seemed to fit the theme. The little squares were cut over 20 years ago and sewn together in 2012. I quilted them this week and finished the binding last night.
Love the layout!! Now, I don't like plaids, but this is just fabulous, a real jewel. How you made something like this out of ordinary plaids, not fancy fabric, is a testament to your skill and imagination. The whole design moves and sparkles.
Darling mug rugs. This goes to show that "old" UFOs can be finished eventually! Your quilt layout is great. It is amazing what you can do with a simple log cabin design.
Just delicious Wanda! Traditionally modern! I am intrigued as to if you keep track of when you cut things? How did you know you cut the little squares 20 years ago? LOL
Never to late to finish something. I started to look in my piles for quick finishes. Chris

ReplyDeleteI love the layout - it looks great! I recognize some of the "country blue" fabrics. I used a lot of that back in the day. :)
ReplyDeleteThose mug rugs are a new definition of WIP:) I really like the off center design of the quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe final design is beautiful and a nice size too.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it appears to have warmed up a bit for you there.
Oh Wanda it does look great... And your sweet mug rugs too.
