Squared Away Finished!

I finished up the binding on Squared Away, my Rainbow Scrap Challenge Sampler from 2018, last Monday night, threw it in the washer and dryer right away, and here it is.


I'm so happy with this finish, and really glad I joined in with the sew along throughout last year!

I like it paired up with my red Ikea chair!

My husband asked, as they tend to do, "Who's that for?" And my answer was - 

Me!  👍  And of course, it has already been put toward its intended use!

In other RSC news for this week - 

I finished up my Christmas red Tiny Rails block.


So now there are 16 of these 10 inch blocks.

That's a lot of little bits of fabric!

And this week's Tiny Tuesday Bowtie block is finished, too.

Thank you, Angie, for a great tutorial, and Angela for organizing these 
fun blocks for us!

Sharing my finish at Confessions of a Fabric Addict for at Soscrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday

    I love the rails quilt it is looking so good. The one you finish is so nice also - always feels good to have a finish isn't it.

    Congrats on your finish - it's great! I like the border/backing fabric to tie everything together. Enjoy!

    What a fantastic finish! Are you enjoying that book? I read a sample of it, and wondered if I should continue. I need to try that Tiny Tuesday block!

    Yay for finishing a quilt for yourself! I have yet to do that. How did you like Eleanor Oliphant?

    Oh, I love how Squared Away turned out! And how awesome that you're keeping it for yourself. We have to keep one once in a while, right? Congratulations on the finish, and have a good weekend!

    Love the quilt and your TT Bowtie looks great. I have not started setting my blocks as I just this morning decided I will use the dark gray Grunge like you (totally coincidentally) so need to shop at Whittles next week.

    Your quilt looks great on your new chair. It looks like a great reading space. You just need a cup of tea or a glass of wine :)

    I always admire your work. My son walked in one day when I was laying a new quilt out on the bed and he asked who that was for because I always gave mine away. I looked at him and said "me"!
