Beautiful quilts! What is the name of the pattern you used on the Missionary quilt? It rocks, but I'm not familiar with the pattern.

Today, I decided it was time to deal with the laundry, so I folded and put all the clean clothes away that accumulated last week while I was working on my postage stamp quilt.

And yes, I spent a couple of hours cutting 1.75" strips to cut them across 35 at a time. I got two groups of 35 different strips cut crosswise 1.75" 22x35x2= 1,520 squares.
It's a lot of work, but it also means that when I collect enough different squares, I can make a rather large charm postage stamp quilt, and if all the squares are cut, I can make 22 charm-type couch potato covers without cutting another square! That's the good days if you're addicted to postage stamp quilts...

Keep up the good work. Your plush quilts are real cuties.[/quote]

The pattern used was a free one from Maywood Studio done by Jackie Robinson called Swirling Lulu. The pattern size is 58" x 71.5". You could add more blocks or more borders. This pattern was meant to highlight a new fabric line, but you could use anything as I did.
