I was going to keep up with the one-a-day quilt-along that was going around this summer, but I got distracted. Sometimes I’m just not that good at keeping up with the crowd!
I liked the quilt on the cover of this magazine and decided that would be a great project for the Darla fabrics I had in my stash.
Here’s what the finished top looks like, which measures 50 inches all the way around. I think it turned out cute and sweet with two sugar cubes on top!
I finally made time a couple Sundays ago to quilt it, sewing diagonal lines in both directions through each square and nine-patch block. (hard to see in the photo but each square and 9-patch has an X sewn through it)
I pieced the back together like this.
Now I just need to another Sunday to sew on the binding fabric. It will be nice to check this UFO will be off the list. Then I will only have about three more UFOs to complete.

Two sugar cubes is right! I like the diagonal quilting and will have to try that. I really like the pieced back, too.
Good luck with your UFOs!

That is very sweet. I love the soft colours. I joined that quilt-along, too, and I am still working on my 9-patches in between other projects!

Wouldn’t it be a blast to decorate a large bedroom all in Darla? And budget be darned!! I know it’s been done, but . . .I’m just sayin’ ! That sweet quilt would look perfect draped across the foot of the bed!
