I thought I would show you a couple of the square lap quilts I have made. I like to make them about 43 to 44 inches square so I don't have to piece fabric for the quilt back. The bright one on the left is made from large squares with two strips on the right and bottom, added log cabin style. After joining the squares I added strips of the main fabric to the top and left side to make it balance. I machine quilted it and added binding.
The quilt on the right was inspired by the fat quarter in the center. I squared the fat quarter to 18 x 18 inches and started adding borders, pulling colors from the fat quarter. I used the last of the fat quarter in the center of each side border. It, too, was machine quilted and bound.
I love making these small quilts with fabrics from my stash. I always feel good when I make something without having to buy anything new.
