One block quilt
 

My wife and daughter were out of town recently and I was tired of the WIPs that I had. I opened a book we've had for a while and decided to make something "quick" that I could start and finish while they were gone. The book is "Sew One and You're Done" by Evelyn Sloppy. I added a border to make it 60" square and used a pieced back because I was way short of the tie-dye fabric I wanted to use.

When my daughter saw it she asked, "Whose quilt is that, Daddy?" I told her that I thought I'd give it to a little girl who didn't have a quilt. She replied, "But it has pink and purple and those are my favorite colors. Can I have it?" Well, what am I going to say to that? So, here is Emmaline's new quilt.

The book is full of quilts made from one huge block. I think this one measures 48" or so square, and I added the border.

I used a new panto on this one, but I can't remember the name.

I had plenty of the front block fabrics but was short of the backing.

Thanks for looking.

Kool quilt. BrendaK

love the colors! the back is great too.

I like it. If you decide to do a quilt for someone who really does not have one, an oversized friendship or sawtooth star works really well. I like to give them to local a organization for foster children, so that I know they go where they are needed. One advantage to extra large blocks is that you can use some of the larger focus fabrics.

Darling quilt. Love that idea.

nicely done

Lovely quilt, front and back.

Nice! I love one block quilts. I have a book called "One Block Says it All". Love the quilts I have made from it.
