Lots of 2" squares!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I found a similar scrappy quilt layout online, and started to assemble the scrappy squares and the white borders. Then I decided that I really didn't want a square quilt, but a rectangular one. So I added the top portion and grabbed some hexies from another project and appliqued them on. The top is not yet quilted....I'm thinking about that, and am not sure yet what I will do. By the way, this hardly made a dent in the number of 2" squares that I have!

Your quilt looks really good! AND, it's one of a kind. Nice work!

That's cool!!! I saved it so that someday i might do it. I love the white and how it adds the design in it.

Wonderful design. You have wonderful patience too.

Great quilt!!!

Great use of squares. Love the row to make it a rectangle. I have a huge bag of 2" squares. Those 2" squares seem to multiply every time I use them. I've started to make placemats and also use that strip of batting left over from trimming quilts.

Your design is spectacular. Love the flowers.

I love LOVE your quilt! I have a bin of 2.5" squares. They're addicting. We even have swaps here on the quilting board. So fun!

You could use any size squares. I just happened to have TONS of 2". I did put this into EQ to keep the dimensions straight!

Once on the bed, the applique portion will look great over the pillows....you've added your own special touch to this quilt....

sewbizgirl 09-14-2016 06:21 AM

Awesome scrappy quilt!

thimblebug6000 09-14-2016 07:17 AM

Great job on your quilt top! I used that pattern too but just added to the top and bottom, I really like your idea to "unsquare" it!

KLO 09-14-2016 07:23 AM

Seems like small squares are like hangers, they reproduce in the dark. Beautiful quilt and I too love the way you increased the size by adding that top border. Hopefully I'll remember that some day when I need to do the same thing.

meyert 09-14-2016 07:38 AM

I love it. it looks great I am just about to start on a scrappy quilt too I hope mine turns out as nice as yours

LindaMRB 09-14-2016 07:55 AM

Beautiful beautiful quilt! I love the addition at the top.

what a wonderful quilt!!!

I am working on a quilt that is all 2" squares. It has been a long process and I still need (want) to make it a little larger but still need more variety in my squares. It is about 90" by 90" and I am hoping for 90" by 108".

Judith1005 09-14-2016 10:19 AM

Bravo!! It is gorgeous. I love the addition of the Hexi's on top.

busy fingers 09-14-2016 11:44 AM

Another gorgeous scrappy.

twinkie 09-14-2016 01:47 PM

That is a beautiful quilt.

nativetexan 09-14-2016 02:16 PM

daisydebby 09-14-2016 05:11 PM

Looks great. Funny thing....I'm working on the same quilt. I plan on making mine a large throw.

QuiltnLady1 09-14-2016 05:47 PM

Very nice! Good job altering the quilt to suit your needs.
