I thought this was a good way to flesh out a panel. I will try this again some day with more variety -- maybe more fabric above and below. I was working with scraps on this one so I was kind of limited. Not gonna lie, I was kinda proud of this one. The fabric came in a bundle of coordinating fat quarters, and I was able to use just about every inch of every piece, plus a scrap of loud orange that didn't go with anything else. It tuned out better than I expected. Sigh, this is the second blanket I made with these colors and cat prints. I love cats, but I do not love these colors and I think I will be done with them for a long time. These two blankets were also made from two fat quarters that were super cute but not enough to make a blanket. I saw this pattern using colors going from dark to light and it looked really cool, so I did it with these fabrics and I ended up liking them. The pink binding and the black binding both have polka dots. I used white Minky for the backings. This pattern is the Santorini Quilt from Alderwood Studio. I took the liberty of adding a little extra above and below to make a rectangular quilt instead of a square. This blanket also used a bunch of coordinating fabrics I inherited. I had been saving them for just the right project, and this was definitely it.

How did I come up with this name for my blog?I will never be recruited into the Quilting Police – I am not a perfectionist when it comes to quilting. I prefer my quilts done (not that I don't have plenty that are only partly done and many many more in the dream stages). I also like to get a deal on fabric, and I like to use up my fabric efficiently. I created this blog to show the method of my madness... Some of my favorite sites:
