Sew Simple Shapes Series - The Big Finish!!

Okay you guys...

I got my quilt back from the quilters.

YaY!!

The quilt finishes at

 74" x 88"

I'm so happy with how it

 turned out and 

I know I'm going to

 LOVE this quilt forever:)

I sewed my 20 blocks together in 

5 rows of four blocks across.

I cut 49 - 2 1/2" x 12 1/2"

 sashing strips for in-between the blocks.

I cut them out of all of my

 Bee Backgrounds Collection

 that I used in the blocks.

Before sewing the blocks together ...

I of course used my 

12 1/2" Trim-It Ruler and 

trimmed them all up to 12 1/2" square!

These are the fabrics that I chose

 for the back of the quilt...

the cornerstones...

the binding and the border.

I cut 30 - 2 1/2" cornerstones

 to go in-between the sashings.

Used 1/4 yard of the blue dot from

 my Bee Basics collection.

I used the baby chick print for the backing.

It's 108" wide and from my

 Bee Backings and Borders Collection.

I used 2 3/4" yards.

The red text binding is from my

 Cozy Christmas Collection.

I cut 9 - 2 1/2" x Width of Fabric strips

 and joined together on the diagonal

 to prepare the binding. 

I just had to do a 

red gingham border!

The gingham that I used is from my

 Bake Sale 2 Collection.

I used 2 1/4 yards and I cut it lengthwise:

Cut 2 - 8 1/2" x 72 1/2" 

and sew to the sides first

and then cut 

2 - 8 1/2" x 74 1/2" 

for the top and bottom.

My friend Juli Stubbs did the quilting 

and it's FABULOUS!!

I went out in my yard

 and took a few photos ...

And then snapped a few more

 after hanging it inside on my wall:)

I super love this quilt 

and I hope that you do too!!!

It was so fun to make using all

 of the my different sets of 

Sew Simple Shapes (so far) 

combined together for one quilt:)

While doing each and every

 tutorial for you...

 I got so excited to put 

all of the blocks together:)

Thanks so much for sewing with me during this series:)
