Quick Quilt

Just a quick quilt, made entirely out of fabrics that I had laying around- more goes out the door! Each block is 10"x7.5", and then they're all stitched together, 5x5, for a lap-sized quilt. I used an old scratchy fleece blanket for the batting in the center, so it should be very warm. There is a little bit of bunching of the batting in the center, but it's not too bad, and to be honest- I'm just not willing to take the whole thing apart to fix it. The batting is held in place by top stitching across each row, about .25" inch off from the seam.

All in all, a pretty easy pattern, I finished this off in about a day, from cutting to final topstitching. I used some lavender fabric with little roses on it for the back- I had a substantial amount of it, since at one time I thought I might make a dress with it (and then it sat for 2 or 3 years...).

Once again, goes to charity unless someone wants to claim it for themselves.
