Another Quilt for Another Sister

As promised, here is another of the late sister presents that I made this spring.  I used one of my squares from an Echo layer cake.  I made a square in a square, an easy and fun pattern.  Aren't the colors lovely together? 
Front


Bright green binding
 I followed my own trend of creating another quilt for the backing.  This time it was a improv log cabin, using some of the fabrics from the front.
Quilt back
 I practiced my free motion on the different areas of the quilt.  Some wavy lines, some leaves, some curves, some straight lines.  Lots of fun!
Quilting detail
This quilt went to my youngest sister.  I will get to see all three of my sisters in California next month.  Can't wait!

The colors look great and I love the fabric featured in the center! The little tiny square in the outermost square looks so cute hanging out there. :) Really nice!

Thank you for your kind comment! �I like the little square, too!
Lovely quilt - great fabrics and design. I also sometimes back my minis with another mini - for practice.

Thanks! �Glad to know I am not the only crazy quilter out there! �
Nice quilts - square within a square is one of my favorite patterns. I found your blog through the Let's Get Acquainted link up. I have been a teacher full time (though only part time now) and lived in suburban Maryland for years, too. Nice to "meet" you and I look forward to seeing more of your blog!
