This morning I took this quilt out of the dryer! The last stitches in the binding were made last night and I immediately threw it in the laundry for a wash and then the dryer before heading to bed. Don't you just love a freshly washed and dried quilt?
Fair and Square is my 3rd RSC quilt for the year and it is finished!
I used gray scraps for the background and color scraps for the blocks all from my scrap bins. The gray and white marble are scraps from a wedding quilt I made earlier this year. The gray border and binding fabrics are from my stash.
The backing fabric is also from my stash. I added a strip of yellow to
make the stripe fabric wider to fit.
I love how the backing coordinates with the rainbow of the blocks!
All blocks are machine stitched and I machine quilted in straight lines both
vertically and horizontally.
This quilt finishes at approx. 40" x 52" - a good lap sized quilt!

For Thanksgiving, I made these fabric postcards for my grandson and granddaughter. I follow the tutorial by Annie. She make beautiful postcards and
art of all kinds!
Aren't these turkeys so cute!
I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!
As we enter into the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, may we take time
to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, find time to enjoy family
and friends and time to relax and care for ourselves. Enjoy!
What a great finish! I like the idea of actually using scraps (ie leftovers) for your RSC block. I often have to use fat quarters to fit my block. This year I'm going to pick something with pieces I might find in my scraps. You've done a great job. Oh those turkey postcards are darling. Another super job. Have a good week.
