I am so pleased to have finished my Economy Block Quilt. I have loved working on it; working from stash and patchwork piecing really are my favorite way to spend my "working" hours. The quilt consists of 80 Economy Blocks (Square in a Square Blocks) with a center fabric that features a fun novelty such as an animal, creature, accessory, notion or otherwise ~ some of these fabrics are now hard to find and sought after. There's a lot to see and there are stories to tell.
For the back of the quilt I have used a print from the Geekly Chic collection by Amy Adams (Riley Blake). This quirky fabric features a range of glasses in black and white and complements the I Spy theme of this quilt. The image below also shows the quilting grid. I have stitched horizontal, vertical as well as diagonal quilting lines, some of which have been stitched in the ditch (in the seam line).
And although I did audition several binding fabrics this scrappy quilt was screaming for a black/white stripe binding fabric. I couldn't ignore it. It just had to be.
I have listed this quilt in my Etsy Store.
