Square in square quilt

My first finish for 2016! Yeah!!! Finally a finished quilt! I sat down yesterday evening and hand-bound this beauty, and you cannot imagine my joy for this finish — mainly because my sewing time has been extremely limited during the past five months since Orestis was born.

This quilt contains 25 Square in Square blocks, each measuring 8.5'' including seam allowance. It was quilted edge-to-edge with two straight quilting lines, each 1/4'' apart from every vertical and horizontal seam.

This quilt was available in my SHOP. SOLD
