Slab Quilt #2


Canadian Slab Quilt # 2 totally done. I just got the binding done after lunch and then rushed outside to get some photos. These quilts are going towards the Canada's Big Quilt Bee hosted by CQA. The blocks were to be slab blocks like Cheryl Arkison block in Sunday Morning Quilts but 12 1/2" and they were to have at least one Canadian fabric in it. 


Here are the 2 finished ones together so you know I did really do 2. They are kind of a like but as they are scraps they are not really the same. 


I did the binding with different fabrics. I think I like the red one the best. I use stripped fabric for many of my bindings so I am surprised I like the red that much. 


Another close up. 



 I also took some shots in the lawn. I think all the yellow dandelions are so cute around my quilt. My husband hates dandelions and any minute they are going to be mowed. Really, he just walked out the door saying he is off to mow. He hates to see a field of yellow. 
Mowers running now!


I have added this post to Crazy Mom Quilts, and Confessions of a Fabric Addict with Can I get Whoop Whoop. I will also plan to add this post to Soscrappy's Saturday linky party as I did do many blocks with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2017

  2. What a pretty quilt. I read a bit about the Canadian celebration quilts as they were being introduced and it's fun now to see them being completed. I also love quilts in fields of dandelions! So, so pretty. I'm glad you got the photo before your husband got to the mower!

  3. visiting from crazy mum quilts. This is fantastic. Two quilts finished. I love the word Slab, it immediately told me how you had constructed the piecing.

  8. What fun quilts! I like stripes for bindings too. Red seems to be a popular choice these days though!

  9. What a fun project. Each quilt is unique, but the pattern is still clear.

  11. Your quilts are a perfect example of why so many quilters love scrap quilts. They are bright and fun and are sure to cheer any child who receives them.
