What a Bunch of Squares Baby quilt - Detail

It came out much better than I had initially anticipated so I’m really happy about that.  It’s the Denyse Schmidt pattern but I made fewer blocks that measured 15″ square, so it now measures about 45″ x 60″.

What fun it is to make blocks without really worrying about perfectly measuring and cutting.  As long as they were vaguely the right size, and there was variety among them, they were “right”!  Then framed them all in white and I was done with the top!  Quick and easy and FUN!

    Love it! I get so OCD on making the blocks all perfect.. I think I should try this one because it’s so cute!

  7. Jeanie Says:

    That’s a lovely quilt! Could you please explain what you mean — the coloured blocks are not all the same size, but when do you add the white? To what? And what size? It all looks so nicely done, but I can’t quite figure it out. Thank you!
