A finish: Clean up quilt

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.

I have a UFO finish to report.  It is the pattern Clean Up by Quilted Twins.  It's a free pattern and can be found on their website.  Links to it in my previous posts:

Start of project is HERE.

Continuation of project is HERE.

Almost a top is HERE.

And now it quilted by a local long armer and bound.  The reveal:


Yes, many small squares, that finish at 1.5 inches.  It uses up a lot of scraps.  It's about 60 by 80 inches in size, maybe?  The Quilted Twins directions are for a larger quilt.

A close up of a corner:


and another close up, showing some really vintage fabrics, some from the 1980's.


No home for this one yet, but I hope to find a charity to accept it.

Linking up with Monday Musings, Sew and Tell at Melva Loves Scraps, Wednesday Wait Loss (she featured my Contessa top - thank you!), Needle and Thread Thursday, Put your Foot Down at the Quiltery, Nina-Marie, Finished or Not at Alycia Quilts, From Bolt to Beauty, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.

    Love how the place of your fabrics lets the quilt sparkle. What a gift. I can imagine the recipient having a grand time exploring the various fabrics.

    Did you have to cut more squares? The QT patterns use a LOT, I know. I like the black/white frames around the blocks. Congratulations on the finish.
