This one turned out so so great. The quilting was done by a local quilter and she did such a good job doing all of that free hand! It gives this simple pattern so much personality.
This quilt was a mixture of prints (I blogged about the quilt top here) and the back was pieced from a few large pieces I had leftover of the Good Life collection from Robert Kaufman. That fabric is the perfect shade of green.
I stuck this on my son’s bed to see how it looks…and it fit! Well good enough anyways…it could probably use one more row at the bottom. Unfortunately it only got to sit there a minute before it was packed and shipped away…which is OK since little boys + white quilts don’t mix and match so well.
Anyways…I love this quilt.

Hi! I've been searching for a quilt pattern to use for my queen size bed. I was over at Fat Quarter Shop and saw Skipping Squares and instantly knew it was the one I wanted! I love love love it! The fabric I am choosing to use is older and I can only find it in layer cake and no fat quarters are available anywhere. The pattern says I need fat quarters. Can this pattern be made with 10" squares? Thanks so much!

I prefer your blue and red interpretation. Making quilts for boys can be tough--and there are so many great pink options out there. But you always have such fabulous combination. Thanks for the inspiration.
diane
love your quilt and I have been wanting to make a squares quilt. So pretty.

I really like the use of dark and light in this quilt.

Free hand?!?!!! That is some crazy talent! Perfect finish to a fabulous quilt. Love it on your son's bed. Too bad it was a short stay. :-) I'm all for you starting that new one. I think it looks like fun!
Jude

The kit is already on my list, it looks fab!
Jessica
ooh i love it! may have to add this pattern to my ever growing to do list!!! :)

I think that is really, really mean of fabric stores. Sometimes they don't even let you get one quilt done...and they are dazzling you with ideas for more. It's almost like they want you to buy more fabric or something!! :)

Sigh. Love it. Your work is always very beautiful. Thanks for showing it.
Beth
That's great! I'm getting ready to start on a wedding quilt, and think this might be just right for a gal who describes herself as "not that classic"--she's a sparky, lovely, funny woman who deserves a quilt that will make her smile. Thanks for the inspiration.
Kate
I love this pattern!
I made one as a wedding gift for some friends in the Fall, but I think it might be time to make one for myself too! :)

i love how you used your DS fabrics! so pretty and refreshing!
Angie
Absolutely fabulous!!! The pattern, the colors, the quilting--it's just gorgeous!!! And I also LOVE the color way that FQS has posted. Will definitely add this pattern to my 'someday soon' notebook. :D

That is an amazing quilt---the fabrics and the quilting make it PERFECT!!
I'm happy to report that my skipping squares quilt is at the quilters as we speak! The top has been finished for months, and I finally pieced together the back yesterday (I didn't have enough of the original backing fabric). I can't wait to get it back!!
We are moving my daughter into a "big girl" bed soon, and hopefully the amazing quilt will ease the transition! ;) Right?!
Keep Stitchin'
I love it! I love the colors/fabrics! Very nice, great quilting!

I've never seen the circa 1934 fabric! I love it and it look fabulous in your pattern!

Such a great pattern. And it is so cool in the circa 1934 fabric--can't wait until it is available, and your pattern is the perfect showcase.

I love this quilt...but I want that huge letter on the wall...can you divulge where it came from? I need it for a gift for a special person....
