I saw this Scrappy Trips Around the World quilt a lot online and decided to make one of my own. The pattern I followed is
here and is from Bonnie Hunter. Great instructions and easy to follow! I actually started it right before the first snow storm a few weeks ago. I sewed a few blocks, and then sewed strips for more blocks so I could cut them after the electricity went out. That's what I prepare before a storm, hand sewing and fabric for cutting, and of course a bathtub full of water because we lose water when we lose electricity.
I had some strips cut and sewn and ready to be cut into strips of squares during the daylight hours.
I also cut more strips and put them in piles for more blocks.
So after all our weekend storms the quilt was this big. I wanted to make it two rows bigger on length and width so it will measure 96 by 96. I have just about all the blocks made and have to sew them together. Soon.
I limited the colors to red, orange, yellow, lime green, blue, and gray. You can click

I also cut fabric for blocks for this other quilt I am working on in black and gray fabrics. You can see little piles of cut fabric held together with a pin to keep each block's fabric together.
The pattern is called Spin Cycle and it is from Cluck Cluck Sew. We carry the pattern at Tumbleweed.
