| Coral Striped Squares Quilt |
My latest quilt. I bought the beautiful Fat Stack of fabrics from Patched Works in March of 2018. At the same time I bought a pattern, Striped Squares, from Patched works that uses 12 fat quarters.

I found a pretty coral fabric in my stash to use as the background. I had bought it at Libertyville Sewing Center back in December of 2001. There are a couple of blocks where the contrast isn't that great but I really liked the coral fabric.

I cut all the pieces at home, there was a lot of cutting! At retreat in October of 2018 I pieced the squares. At the retreat in March of 2019 I pieced the top. It helps to have a design wall and friends to help with placement of the squares.

I bought some coral flannel at JoAnn's and then took it all to my friend Joni to have it quilted. While watching Packers football on TV, I put on the binding.

I tried a little something different for the label, added some fill stitches. It looks okay but I should have used a higher contrast thread for the title and my name. Not really a problem, I like it and it isn't a gift or anything. Not sure I would do this quilt again as there was so much cutting but I do like how it turned out and it was pretty easy to put together.
