I don’t seem to be doing a great deal of stitching in the last week or so, but today I have kitted up another child’s quilt to take to Scrub Stitchin’.
Once again, it is a rather simple quilt. The pattern is the free One Yard Wonder by Leila Gardunia. I have tweaked the measurements to suit myself again. Instead of thirty 4 1/2” squares, I am making fifty six 3 1/2” squares, so that I can get more variety.
Here are the fabrics I chose. Everything is from stash or my scraps. The main fabric is one that I found at a garage sale a year or so back and I think it suits it perfectly. It will be nice to use some more muted colours in a child’s quilt for a change.
It didn’t take too long to get everything cut, ready to go, including the binding. I’ll work out the backing once it is pieced.
I think I now have plenty to go on with at Baradine. If it all gets done I will be surprised, and if not I will have something ready to just pick up and sew when I get home.

That pick up sure is the perfect piece of fabric for the quilt and I like that you’re used some muted colours for this quilt.
Always good to have plenty for retreat.
It will be adorable with more squares!
I am happy to say that I will definitely be to Scrub Stitchin' next year. Hope you are too!
I like the colour selection Janice. I look forward to seeing it in real life.
Now I call that ready, set, sew......once the cutting is done the sewing up is very quick. Well done on all your prepping for S/S.
That's a nice design for a child's donation quilt, and great that you are all prepared to head off to the retreat.
That's a fun quilt....and I love your fabric choices, especially that deep gold.
Thats going to be so pretty and the alphabet fabric is perfect for it. xx
That’s very exciting
Thanks for the link too. I have to make 2 baby quilts. I can use this as a start. Your fabric is perfect.
Looks like a great project to use up that fabric and lots of little bits too.
You are so organised Janice! The chosen fabrics will make a beautiful quilt.
Perfectly suited to the pattern - though of course any fabric would work....may also keep that one as a "go to".
Good to be prepped for SS. actually good to have kits for home sewing sometimes too!
have fun there....will miss the fun & fellowship...I must see if I can organise a Non Attendee Linky party and we can pretend we are there.
You've been busy this month! and I love all your fabrics. I bet you will have a great time at SS!
Looks like you had the perfect fabric for this quilt. And I'd say this project is the perfect kind to take to a retreat where you may have difficulty focusing at times. :)
Love these fabrics too and what a neat little design for a quilt. Happy Stitching from me!
