Squares Within Squares Patchwork Quilt

This quilt was made using a variety of neutral coloured patterned scrap fabric.  Each block has a central square in various shades of red.  In addition there is a narrow sashing strip in black.  For the backing I used a beautiful leaf print in orange.

This is a square quilt measuring approximately 72" x 72" or 183 cms x 183 cms and could be used as a bed topper, a generous lap quilt or what about a luxury picnic mat.

The patchwork has been quilted on the diagonal in each direction.  I made this quilt on a domestic sewing machine and finished it by hand.

The fabric is 100% cotton.  Between the layers is some good quality wadding.  The quilt is machine washable on a gentle setting and may be ironed.
