Postage Stamp Quilt

My latest quilt was made in December 2023, but wasn't blogged until January 2024.


As for most of quilters my scrap bins are overflowing. That's why I took a deep dive into them and cut lots of 1.5" squares for a postage stamp quilt. i organized squares into 64-patches, some by color and others more ore less random. White sashing made the blocks stand out, and neutral cornerstones completed the design. A blue border completed the quilt.

Walking foot quilting was the right finishing for this quilt with 768 one inch finished squares. Scrappy binding was perfect for this baby quilt that measures 38" x 48".



 The backing is filled with cuddly puppies.

This is my thirteenth charity quilt for the year 2023, and number 105 all time for the children's ward at the hospital. 


Keep on quilting!
