It's my first quilt finish for September--the Square Dance baby quilt is complete!
Square Dance baby quilt
39" x 46"
The blocks for this quilt were made as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge throughout 2020. I made about 30 blocks each month using the assigned color of the month along with the next color of the rainbow progression. By the end of the year, I had the blocks all joined together into two small quilt tops.
The two quilt tops above each measured 40" x 60" When I decided to use one of them for this baby quilt, I decided to remove a couple rows of blocks, taking the size down to 40" x 48". After quilting and washing, it ended up at 39" x 46".
The backing is a flannel that I have used on multiple earlier quilts. I wish I had a whole bolt of this fabric!
This quilt should get packed up and mailed tomorrow. It is going to a niece who is expecting a little girl next month. We are planning a family visit in December and hope to meet the new family member then!
Finishing this quilt was also my One Monthly Goal for September. I will be linking up with Elm Street Quilts at the end of the month.

Lovely! I've been making square dance blocks for RSC this year, but I'm a long way from enough for a quilt. I may copy your setting.
ReplyDeleteIt is one of the best baby quilts I've seen. Not to juvenile at all, but full of color and movement. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is another great quilt, Julie ! You are such an inspiration.
