A LOL Finish!

I just love the LOL fabric by Me and My Sister.  It is available as pre cuts right now, and will be available as yardage later this summer.  I have been playing with a fat quarter pack and this is one of the quilts I came up with.


I just couldn't resist taking it's picture on the fence with the neighbours Saskatoon bush blooming in the background.

To make the quilt I cut 2 1/2" squares of LOL and 2 1/2" squares and strips of white.


I started with the square in the centre, and placed white strips around it.


The next round alternated LOL squares with white squares.  I place LOL in the corners.


Add a round of white 2 1/2" strips.  Carry on in this manner till it's as big as you like.  I stopped at 38" square, as I thought that would be a nice baby size.

I'm linking up today with the whoop whoop party which is hosting a giveaway, and with Finish it up Friday.  Check them both out for lots of inspiration.

    This is a great pattern for using precuts. It really shows off the fabric. Nice!

    I love how the white sashing really frames all the different cheery colors!

    Thanks for the tutorial. It looks like it could also be made in strips.
    We don't have any leaves on trees yet. The forsythia are just now starting to bloom but no green on any of our trees.
