My neighbor Mary has been busy quilting.
This is her latest quilt that she finished in August.
It doesn't have a name like some of her other quilts as it was not part of an official pattern. So she just winged it. It is approximately 72" square (183cm x 183cm)
She purchased some plastic 'Scrap Crazy Templates' and wanted to try them out. Each template makes a finished 6" block (15 cm). In the quilt there are nine squares. Each square contains four 6" blocks from the templates.
Everything after the nine squares were made was where she really winged it - with no planned idea of how she wanted to complete the quilt. She thought navy was a good contrast with the oranges and yellows so she used four inch (10cm) borders around the squares. But after doing that, the quilt was still too small so she then came up with two, one inch (5cm) yellow and orange borders to help expand the quilt size.
