"Little sister" - red, blue, yellow, green top
 

I've been trying to do some easy sewing during the Olympics as I've had the different athletic events on a laptop by the sewing machine, watching live. (We are only 3 hours from Sochi time, so it is very possible--)

As I was cleaning up some scraps in my room, I noticed the leftover blocks with sashing strips from this top

I had previously thought I would make another large one, but didn't really want to do more searching for more squares in those colors-- So, I just uncovered these and came to my EQ program and discovered I had plenty for a twin sized quilt (actually it is 71"x 94"--so a large twin).

I think of it as "little sister" to that other one. I suppose some might have called it a UFO--but really I had just cut too many squares for the larger one. So, "UFO" or "leftovers"...doesn't matter what the squares were called--this is what they became:

Lovely in its simplicity!! :)

so bright and cheerful!

It's so pretty! I just love bright colors!

I really like that!

Wow, stunning, so simple looking, yet so stunning

Your quilt is bright and beautiful (as was the other one) ~ great job!

This is really pretty!!

You sure can produce beautiful quilts in an amazing speed.

Love the colors!

Love it! Such cheerful colors.

Love the bright colors!

Love your quilt and the primary colors!!

Love those primary colors. It is a very pretty quilt and I am sure whoever gets it will love it too.

Looks great and wonderful use of leftovers.

Very very nice.

Absolutely love it! How do you plan to quilt it? I noticed in your previous post that you said to use 5" squares, 1.5" sashing & corner stones. Are those finished sizes or the sizes to cut?

lots of happy colours

You just amaze me! You are so prolific and they are all so pretty!

Those are cut sizes. So they finish at 1/2" smaller than that.

And in response to "you're so fast" reply...All the squares were already cut! I really only had to cut some more sashings, (and probably fewer than half the squares needed sashings) sew them on, and then connect the strips. It did take longer than some others because working on point required me to take it all downstairs to the basement, lay out the squares on the floor, pin them together and then come back and sew them together. But it was the sashing with cornerstones that took the most time. I won't do that again right away--they are small cornerstones and when I had to change a few because I repeated myself too often, it was a pain!

Great job!

Very bright and cheerful!

You are just amazing in the quantity and quality of your work. You continue to amaze.

Very bright and pretty quilt! A striking quilt.

Love it!!!!!!

Wow that ism awesome.

Good job! Love the bright colors and the setting, very pretty. :thumbup:

Great quilt! I love everything about it!

Looks like Litle Sister grew up to be a very pretty quilt.

I agree, bright & cheery is the perfect description.

Neat, clean, and colorful! Great!

I just love scrappies and yours is no exception. Good job.

I love the bright colors. I want to make a quilt for my daughter using primary colors. This is great.

Love its brightness and cheerful air :o

Very pretty! I love it!!

Very impressive -- and with just scraps? This should be hung on a wall with the room decorated around it!

Just beautiful. The jewel tones just pop.

I think your "leftovers" are referred to as "orphan blocks". You made a beautiful "little sister" with them!
