I have another RSC finish for 2022! All year long I worked on 3 different blocks for the challenge. This year's challenge is just about over and we are supposed to be working on finishing them up. On my last post, I showed my 1st finish, Kaleidoscope. Today I'm posting about my Squiggles quilt finish!
Squiggles was made from the bonus HSTs from the Kaleidoscope quilt plus a few additional 2 1/2" squares. It is my second of 3 RSC quilts made during 2022. This is a baby size quilt. All the fabrics were from my scraps and the backing is from my stash. I bought the white with black polka dots for the border because it coordinated with the backing and the black with white polka dots for the binding.
Squiggles is a fun block to sew together but it was nice to have the HSTs already made. I am so glad I decided to use them in this quilt right away rather than in my orphaned blocks basket.
I quilted stitch in the ditch around each Squiggle , then a simple pattern each squiggle. In the background squiggles, I quilted the same pattern with variegated thread. I quilted a simple straight lines in the borders.
This little quilt finished size is approx. 30" x 38".

What a great design!! I can imagine it's ribbon twisting in the wind.
ReplyDeleteOh Dawn, here’s your so delightful little squiggles quilt all done!!! I just love this sweet design. And it’s perfect for a baby quilt. Also as Chrisknits said, it can be twisting ribbons too. Except squiggles sounds so much more fun. LOL
ReplyDeleteCute little quilt! Good job using those extra HST's right away, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun use of leftover hsts. What a brilliant way to use your scraps. Someone is going to love this quilt.
ReplyDeleteSuper use of leftover HSTs. Squiggles is adorable! What a great idea even if you have to make the HSTs from scratch. Is it your pattern? Also, the quilting is the perfect touch. 😍

ReplyDeleteHi Dawn! Oh, I love how Squiggles turned out. It's almost like a free quilt, right? Leftover scraps put to good use makes my heart sing, as I'm certain yours does too. Fabulous! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
