Complete with a pieced backing and hours of quilting straight lines. Most of the quilting lines were straight lines on either side of a seam line, or diagonal lines through the large blocks. I also ended up doing some "in the ditch" quilting which still requires a high level of effort and concentration!

The binding fabric is a Katie Jump Rope stripe in Orange:

And there was lots of it (machine stitched, as usual):

I have thoroughly enjoyed piecing this quilt, choosing the fabrics, preparing the blocks, cutting and rearranging them until I was happy with the layout. I can highly recommend this easy piecing design.

My Etsy Store has been updated and you can find the listing for this quilt here. SOLD

oh this one is beautiful (not that your other quilts aren´t beauties as well - indeed they are!). but this one is so clean an pretty (not that.. well, you get my point :-) lovely, thanks so much for sharing your wonderful work!!claudia

At first I thought I was ready someone else's post in my reader and when I saw the binding I thought, "wow, that looks as good as Rita's!" Turns out, it IS. Lovely, lovely! I really like how you quilted this one.

Great quilt!!! Thank-you for sharing the directions, I was looking for a pattern for a new "Quilt of Valor" quilt I wanted to make and send. I had lots of Patriotic fabric bits and pieces. I'm having fun putting it together. thanks again!!!!!

What a perfect binding! Gee, you would have thought she planned it that way... It's too late now, but it occurs to me that one interesting thing would have been to throw in one block in the blue/green colourway.

I'm usually just a lurker, but I had to tell you that I love this one! Bento Box quilts don't normally appeal to me, but this one rocks it! I love the color choices, piecing, quilting and binding. The whole thing is just great! I always love your work, but this one brought me out of lurker-ville to tell you! ;)kellikellbell_6@hotmail.com
