This one uses strip quilting. She has another one which was done earlier with really scrappy pieces.

This link "doesn't exist any longer" according to the Moda Bake Shop site....I really want this pattern, does anyone else have a link for a free pattern for the Granny Squares???

I, too, am a scrappy lover, and made a similar quilt. I loved mine until I saw yours! Great job -- really like the way you put the corner stones in the sashing.

That's a great way to use up those charm packs. How big are the blocks?

The little squares are 5x5 cm equal to 2x2", the sewn block is 17.5x17.5 cm. about 6.5x6.5"!!
