Trip Around the World

51 x 63

Myra at Busy Hands Quilts was hosting a Trip Around the World Quilt-A-Long over the last few weeks.  Here's what I made.  I has some fabric I wanted to use up, but I didn't have enough to make a whole quilt, so I ended up alternating each color with a background fabric.

I was in the mood to try something different for the quilting.  So I started with alternating loops in white squares.  Okay, I ended up with alternating loops in the white squares too.  I was going to do the prints as well, but decided that might be too much. After washing, the texture is just as nice as if I had meandered it.

As always, I used up some leftovers on the back.  Most of the prints came from the "ol tub" of fabric I'm trying to use up.  Even the background print came from there.  The tub is still full of fabric! It's just that none of it goes together!

Thanks Myra for this fun quilt-a-long!
