This features mostly Stampin Up 100% cotton fabric. It features Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, and Crumb Cake as colors. I added the striped fabric in similar tones. I created the accent squares with solids in Cherry Cobble, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake.
I sewed all the 2.5 inch strips together planning on a JellyRoll style and then changed my mind and cup the assembled strips into 9.5 inch squares.
I used a Crumb Cake 100% cotton fabric for sash between the squares as well as the back. I used flannelette sheeting as batting. The 5 rows of 4 squares were quilted to the backing as rows. Then the rows were assembled as the backer was larger than the front squares. The seams were ironed to one side and I top stitched along the seams which gives each square 4 seams.
My final analysis. I would use a wider sash, less strips per square, and a wider edge binding. I love the solid accent squares. I have found a Quilt as you Go assembly tutorial which I think will work better for me so I will let you know how it goes on the next quilt.
