A finish -- Weedwhacker

I have a finish!

A top I pieced in 2018, quilted by a local long arm quilter in big loops in 2019, and bound by me in this time of COVID-19.  And yes I labeled it with the date and with the COVID-19 information.

About 60 inches by 77 inches.  The pattern is Weedwhacker from Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville blog, one of her generous free patterns.  This is one of the quilts that came out of 2 shoeboxes full of 2 inch strips.  I cut them for a different project, then lost my inspiration.  4 throw or single bed quilts and a doll quilt later, the boxes are almost empty - scary.  The fabrics are all 30's reproduction prints.

My other COVID project, Film at Five, is paused, but I will get back to it soon!  Maybe even today.

Quilt top July 20

Good morning and welcome to my blog!
Oh boy do I have a lot of 2 inch cut strips!  All in 30's reproduction prints.  I pictured them in this post earlier this week.
Time to switch it up and try another pattern using 2 inch strips.  I printed out the instructions to Bonnie Hunter's Weed Whacker pattern, and started in.  At first I didn't like the blocks, but now that they are together I like the look:

Since taking this photo I have added a white border, but I am keeping it simple.

And guess what?   I still have plenty of strips left.  I think I can get two more quilt tops out of these.

Linking up with Can I get a Whoop Whoop.  Possibly also Oh Scrap on Sunday (if I remember to link!).
