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.

"Clean up" project: Almost a top

Welcome to my blog.  I was able to find time this past week to continue on this project, that I blogged about previously.

It's almost a top!

What I have, laid out on the brown carpet on my basement floor.  The pattern is called Clean Up, and is found HERE on the Quilted Twins website.

 Each scrap square here finishes at 1.5 inches.

Here you can see the thin white border, then the black border around each big block of little squares.  Then a sashing made of more 1.5 inch blocks.

This pattern uses a lot of scraps, but I have more in the shoe boxes to be used.

"Clean up" quilt project continues

 Good day and welcome to my blog.

 Despite my full time job, I have been able to get into my quilt room this week, and have moved the Clean Up project forward.

It is a pattern by Quilted Twins, and you can find it HERE.  It uses lots and lots of 2 inch squares of fabric!

Previously I blogged about building the big blocks of 10 by 10 squares.  Now I am putting them together:

Three blocks with sashing of more little squares of fabric.  I now have 6 blocks done, and here is my current situation:

There will be vertical sashing between the  columns of more small squares, to be sewn together and inserted.  The pattern calls for for 4 by 4 blocks and border for a finished size of 95 inches square.  I think mine will be a little narrower.

And my box of 2 inch strips and 2 inch squares is not noticeably depleted.

A New Start: Clean Up pattern

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.

I recently pulled out all sorts of scraps and cut pieces for potato chip blocks, and also cut 2 inch strips and pieces.  Last week I sewed potato chip blocks, and this week it's time for the pattern I picked from the Quilted Twins website, under their free patterns section.  It's called Clean Up, and you need 2 inch strips, sewn together, cross cut, sewn together randomly to make a central block of 10 by 10 squares, 15.5 inches unfinished, and 15 inches, finished.

My block is about 15 to 15.25 inches now, which tells me my seam allowance is a little wide.  Normally this doesn't make a difference, but adds up over 9 seams.

You also need border units of more 1.5 inch squares, and I have started on those too.  But I am concentrating on those big blocks.

Three down, many more to go!
