Wonky Squares Quilt

This week I kept on track with trying to finish up tops that are almost done and adding backs for them. I layed out the blocks for this quilt and decided to make it a little bigger. I made an extra 24 blocks and added 2 borders the quilt is now a big 85x 91 inches. Should fit on my bed nice. I enjoyed sewing these blocks no patterns just sewed up pieces and strips and ended up with blocks. Didn't have to match corners or points. I started each square with a square 3 to 5 inches, then added a strip around 1 to 2 inches wide.



Then added a triangle to each side, squared them up a little then added a final border to make the squares 9 inches. I pieced a lot of the stripes to add to the scrappy look and to use up the smaller pieces that I had.













I'm using this fabric for the back.
