For my second H2H quilt I used 2'' squares, I had an overabundance of them. Even after making the quilt I still have lots left.
sorting out the 2'' squares, these were not the only ones I had |
The pluses for the top used 648 squares, 24 across and 27 down.

I see some pluses should have been moved around for better colour placement |
I bound the quilt with the same red I used in the border. For the quilting in the body of the quilt, I did loops and hearts. In the border, I did some straightish lines, and in black squares, between the red, I did elongated figure 8's.

This quilt will also be going to Ronald MacDonald House in London, Ontario. It finishes at 43'' x 47''. I used Hobbs 80/20 batting, my favourite batting, and Superior So Fine #50 403 Putty for the body of the quilt and 411 Black in the borders.
Oh wow, knowing that you used so many 2" squares is impressive! You are on a roll with your donation quilts. :)
