I knew that we'd still want it bigger still, so I bought some solid green from Hancock for 3 in. sashing.

Another UFO - Square in a Square!
Here is a beautiful UFO that was also donated by Cindy at Live A Colorful Life. We appreciate her generosity and kindness. She had made 12 blocks, and I knew that this quilt needed to be much bigger then that. I was super fortunate that she had donated all the scraps along with these beautiful blocks.
So I set out to make enough blocks to total 30.
All the sashing and the corner stones are cut and ready to be sewn!
It's coming along.
Here she is waiting for me to cut out the outside border. I didn't have enough of one fabric, so the border is a 6 in. width of all the leftover fabrics.
She ended up 89x104! A great size for a queen bed. The binding will be the pale stripe fabric. You can see it better in the picture above.

What a lovely peaceful green. It brings the whole quilt top in line.
The green sashing you chose is just perfect- so soft and refreshing! And what a great job you are doing at putting this together!
That will turn out to be a beautiful quilt with it is finished. Lucky the extras came with it.
You and Cindy make a wonderful team! Love the fabric you chose for the sashing and that scrappy border. What a gorgeous finish!
Now THAT'S what I call making lemonade!
What a challenge to take someone's UFO and re-imagine it. You did great!
The scrap boarder finished a perfectly beautiful quilt.
Gorgeous! I loved that line of fabrics!
Looking good! You are so good at saving these projects! Well done!
What a great donation and what great use you have made of it!! xx
This is amazing Vicki! I love the differences in square sizes. It makes it so fresh and modern!

It's so pretty! What a nice colour combo ; )
What a beautiful, calming quilt! I liked the blocks when I saw them in the first photo, but your choice for sashing and border really pulled it all together. Someone will be very pleased to receive such a lovely gift.
This quilt has such wonderful subdued shades in it! I personally love all the green! You sure whipped this one out fast!
Beautiful!
