So, I came to the conclusion and resolution that I will just post about what I am doing ... so that I can remember what I did when ... and what I wanted to do, ha-ha. We all have UFOs, right.?
I am very excited about my last big quilting projects. It started with making this scrappy quilt at the Thursday Stitchers (the charity sewing group).
We have three bins there with 2.5x2.5, 4x4 and 5x5 inch squares. I took the 2.5 inch squares and thought about what to do with them. I like scrappy quilts the best because I think that is the original purpose.
I liked the quilt so much that I actually purchased it to keep.
Then one of the other Stitchers asked me to write down how I had done it. And so I did. And got carried away. I wondered how it would look with "regular" fabric. I found easily fabrics in the Stitchers vast supply and the cutting went fast.
Last Thursday was not my day though. When I noticed just before lunch that I had sewn on a whole row in the wrong direction (the green ended up where the light blue was) I just packed everything up to take home (which I usually don't do).
Guess what? I was short one ONE little square. Luckily it was the right Sunday when some Stitchers meet and I could run in and get it. I am so happy the top is pieced now.
Yup, done!
When I wrote the pattern directions I couldn't help myself again. I had to try it with just 4 different ribbons. I found the material in my stash and the piecing of the top would have only taking me ONE DAY cutting and sewing if I had not gone for a walk because the weather was so nice.
And the trouble is, I might have to do it again. I would love to see how it looks in batiks ... or pale baby colors with one ribbon down and two ribbons across less. What do you think?

Love this and all the variations you created! Thanks for sharing your pattern.
It was so much fun. It's simple but I am happy with it. Thanks, Sophie!
