LOL!! For some reason I read, 1600+ squares.. And then I was thinking, how did she get that done in four hours??

Beautiful!

BeckyL 09-06-2011 03:17 PM

Nice job

skoshi 09-06-2011 03:26 PM

If you ever need a quick gift the 1600 is the easiest fastest one I have ever made

jeaninmaine 09-06-2011 03:26 PM

I like that, is it done the same as the fast jelly roll quilt except adding squares to each strip?

Painiacs 09-06-2011 03:47 PM

:lol: I was thinking the same thing. Where are the 1600 squares? Couldn't she have used strips?...oh, .... then I figured it out. Cool colors, love how you put it all together.

It is very pretty.

Great layout and fabric selection. Thanks for sharing.

anniec55 09-06-2011 08:29 PM

Nice, the squares add a little "extra" to the quilt. Aren't they fun to make?!!!

gzuslivz 09-06-2011 08:42 PM

I did one of these. I will post when I have quilted it. But I love the addition of the little anchor square between each strip. That really pops and makes it a little different. Well, it was different. Now everyone will be doing it! Thanks for sharing:-)

HummerGardenCrafts 09-06-2011 08:44 PM

I love that and the colors are so pretty!!!!!!! You did an awesome job!!!

it is very nice, yes. but i don't the number 1600 , how it applies?

skoshi 09-07-2011 02:53 AM

Hi to all!
In answer to questions I used a Bali Pop and added 2 1/2" squares at the end of each strip as I sewed it together which gives you 1 VERY long strip, then you fold it in half and sew one of the longest seams you will ever sew, cut it at the end you will have 2 rows, and fold it again and sew another long seam, which will be half of the first gtiving you 4 strips together, repeat this about 5 times depending on the width and length you want it. Then add your borders.
Hope this helps!

sparkys_mom 09-07-2011 04:53 AM

I thought that looked like a Bali Pop - I think I have that one. :) Very pretty result.

gzuslivz 09-07-2011 09:27 PM

1600 is how many inches you have once you sew all the strips into one long strip. This is a VERY fun top to make

lots2do 09-08-2011 03:09 AM

That is lovely. Will have to try that after I get my current 1600 done.

Wendys Quilts 09-08-2011 05:00 AM

I want to do one of these one day!

SewCraftyGirl 09-08-2011 05:10 AM

I love the added squares!!! They add such a pop to the quilt. Thanks for sharing the photos and explanation on how you created it.

I wonder 09-08-2011 05:15 AM

Gosh! It's beautiful!

watterstide 09-13-2011 01:41 AM

That is a beautiful quilt! thanks for sharing!

lots2do 09-13-2011 02:52 AM

I found this again after reading another post this morning. If you don't mind answering my question, it would be appreciated!
How much fabric did you have for the purple border and the little squares (approximately)? Am definitely going to try this soon!
Thanks in advance!

skoshi 09-13-2011 07:24 AM

Sorry, am having a brain fog here!!!
If I remember I cut 5 6 1/2" strips for border, and 3 2 1/2" then subcut into 2 1/2" squares. Maybe a yard and a quarter, I did have some left overs. You don't have to make the border that wide if you don't want to.
Hope this helps!
Sandy
