There once were some squares (a medium flat rate box full to be exact) that were purchased to finish
A labor of love that looked like this when it was finished.
Which left almost the entire box of little squares, which made their rounds in my sewing room for a good 4 years. Until one day I was asked to make a 'scrappy table cloth' out of little bits of fabric. I was quite excited actually even though everyone I told thought I might have fallen off the deep end.
So the little squares found a mate and made pairs.
I then decided that they needed some mixing up and hand mixing wasn't going to do, so into the dryer they went for a few minutes.
Looks about perfect to me. So out they came and went from twosies to foursies and so on and so forth until all 1,200 came together to look something like this.
A border was added and it was quilted.
The lighting is bad, but you can see the simplicity of it all.
This pretty table cloth went home with it's owner yesterday and is all happy with its new surroundings.
After all of those tiny little squares, I wasn't committed to any psych wards and I have been inspired to bust out an old project from October of 2011 after all that. I will share when I get the last 3 blocks finished up.
