Here is another free form modified log cabin/courthouse steps style quilt I made. I used polar fleece on the back of this quilt instead of flannel. No batting as the fleece is thick and acts like a batting as well as a backing fabric. Will donate this quilt if it doesn't sell at the gift shop. I thought I would at least try to see if this style quilt would sell? You just never know! The ones I really think would sell, don't, so? I price them cheap enough, so prices isn't the reason it doesn't sell (who knows if they even look at the price?), but there are just too many variables such as size, color, design, etc. You can't please people and I won't do a custom made quilt because I have to enjoy the making of it and I couldn't get enough money to make it worth my while if I didn't enjoy it or it was a pattern that had a zillion pieces in it! So I suspect this one will end up being donated and that is fine with me.
This quilt measures 4 1/2" x 40 3/4".

Happy Scrappy quilt piecing!
*Update: I sold this quilt, yay! I sold it cheap, but it sold! I really wasn't sure.
Daryl, you make me feel so guilty since if my scraps are smaller than 1.5 inches I never see them again. These scrappy quilts are so ldarn cute.

ReplyDeleteI love the colors of this quilt. The turquoise is so pretty! I love the idea of fleece on the back. I'm definitely going to have to try that trick to make things warmer.
