A scraps and stash quilt

I started this quilt at the beginning of the year after I acquired some scraps at a quilt group meeting which were left over from a quilt.

I added some more fabrics from my stash and came up with a layout based on the City Park quilt by Cherry House Quilts, but then progress ground to a halt for several months.

However, a sew along for UFOs (unfinished objects) was what I need to get the blocks assembled into a quilt top and then completed.

The black squares have been quilted with a “square spiral” (which is more visible on the back) and the rest of the space was filled with a free motion “angular meander”.

This will be heading off to Project Linus (the local Project Linus co-ordinator is happy to accept larger quilts suitable for older children and teenagers), along with a seasonal project that has to be completed next month – more on that in November.
