Both of these two need to stop growing!
(Quick reminder… my 25% off sale ends tonight!)
I started making this quilt right after Halloween to be my “slow sewing” project through the season…but instead I ignored most my adult responsibilities and sewed it together within a week or two.
I stink at slow-relaxing sewing projects…I can’t work on anything else until they are DONE.
The quilt pattern is Pixel Chain, and I cut 2 1/2″ strips to use from my red and green stash. I tried to use up all my random leftover bits of fabrics for this one!
The background is scrappy low volume prints instead of one solid. I threw a solid white in there too, which ended up being a little too “off white” for my liking, but it’s not as noticeable sewn together.
My helper and I taped the blocks to the wall (with Diagonal Seam Tape LOL) because 4 kids + puppy + dirty floor + no design wall set up yet.
There are only 30 blocks for this size, which ends up being a good large throw or even a twin size. I’m going to keep this one folded at the foot of our bed.
The PDF version of Pixel Chain can be found here, Paper patterns can be found here.
I sent this one off to be quilted with the softest minky backing ever. I don’t think it will be done before Christmas but I’m going to love pulling this one out next year!
