Classic Country Floral Queen Size Quilt

96 x 96

This is a queen sized quilt made from 2 different nine patch blocks.  Most of the fabrics came from my 2.5 and 5 inch scrap bins.  It started out to be a lap quilt, but I had too many scraps, so I was going to make 2 lap quilts.  

Then I decided it should be a bed quilt, but there were too many blocks for a twin.  I was short 15 blocks for a queen.  So do you add a border or go on the hunt for more fabric?  Well, I was blessed to find a few more pieces in my scrap bin and I cut some matching prints that were left in my stash. I did have to buy one green fat quarter.

After the top was done, I measured all my leftover big pieces, got my notebook and started sketching out a layout for the back. It changed slightly from my drawing, but I like how it turned out.  Even though it may never be seen, I didn't have to buy any fabric for the back!  It's the year of the stash and I'm trying hard to keep it.

This was my OMG for May.  It was a big goal and I'm glad it's finished!  You can see links to other's May goals at Red Letter Quilts.  You can also find this quilt in my shop.
