Be Squared - A Finished Quilt and Pattern

Be Squared Quilt

Finished Quilt size: 56 inches x 72 inches

And so I have finished my quilt made with my treasured Oakshott cottons. I am so glad to have finally cut into my Oakshott Colorbox. It has been such a wonderful week. Working with these fabrics is a privilege! Delightful.

My plan had been to go heavy with the quilting (closely spaced lines both horizontal and vertical), but once the quilt top was finished and I could see how amazing these fabrics really are I decided to keep it simple to ensure that the fabric and the colors would be the highlight.

For the back of the quilt I have used a text print - Headliner News by Blank Textiles - a welcome and quirky contrast to the non-print fabric used in the quilt top. I have matched this with a subtle text binding fabric:

Binding fabric: Mama Said Sew

Sewing Guide in Black - by Moda Fabrics

40 different colors/fabrics

~~504~~ 1008 fabrics squares

I have listed this quilt in my Etsy Store.

You can find the listing for the finished quilt here: Be Squared Quilt

I have written an easy piecing pattern for this quilt - suitable also for beginners.

The pattern is Jelly Roll, Fat Eighth, Fat Quarter and Yardage friendly.

Fabric requirements and cutting instructions are included for four different quilt sizes.

The pattern includes a guided tutorial with photo images for piecing and pressing seams which will assist in the successful completion of this quilt.
