Kids scrap quilt ONE

I sewed all the scraps together and trimmed them down to 9" blocks.

Here is the layout I chose. 

Now to add the sashings..

I knew I was wanting to make a few scrap quits and needed a fabric to join it all together. 

A trip to spotlight was needed. I saw this aqua fabric and thought it would be perfect. 

Even better it was priced at $4 per metre. So I got 3 metres cut..

When it was put through the register it came up as $2 per metre. I quickly asked for the rest of the bolt. I ended up with 7.5 metres.. Not bad for $15..

Then I border only 2 sides of each block with 2" strips. 

Trimmed to 10", joined them and added a

I am happy with how the aqua spots are so different to all the blocks. 

It measures about 36" x 44".. I'll measure it properly when I go to quilt it.

This is what I will,be using as the backing.

 It is a whimsical bright fabric that has been given to me.

Now put it aside and get started on the next one...
