Hugs and Stitches Blue and White Quilt

I designed this pattern inspired by a segment on "Sewing with Nancy" TV series.  I was given multiple strips and asked to make a kit for Hugs and Stitches.  I sewed the cut strips into a tube, cut across the tube by the same width as the cut strips were, and then by "unsewing" a different seam of each resulting tube strip could obtain a cascading  design of square blocks.  The quilt top goes together quickly and easily with no seams to match.
I was able to create 3 kits out of several strips sets.  (See May 2014 for second quilt made, Floral Garden Strip Quilt.)


Quilted with wavy line in white sashing and straight diagonals in printed squares.

The backing is a blue/white square print.

Animal baby quilt for Hugs and Stitches

This quilt was machine pieced and quilted for Hugs and Stitches.



The quilting was stitch in the ditch as well as wavey lines crossing thru square blocks.
