Friday Finish: Hip to be Square

If you are new to the blog, welcome.  You have reached an archived  free pattern.  We typically put up new blog post twice daily so there is always something new and fresh here.  Click HERE and see what’s new today…

I have been quilting and binding quilts like a mad woman over the last two weeks.  I have been working on donation quilts for the West, Texas.  In all the flurry, I decided to throw one of my quilts on the frame and finish it.

This is “Hip to be Square”.  I had the quilt top finished last summer but then it just sat and I didn’t get it finished.  I ended putting it on my UFO list that I made at the beginning of the year.  This makes my 6th UFO finish of the year-ha-who!!!  There are still PLENTY more quilts on the list to keep me busy.

I have a free pattern available for this quilt that you can find that here.  One of my blog readers also made it and sent me a picture of her quilt that you can see here.

I used a sheet for the backing.  I thought the stripes would be fun with the plaids.

I used a square quilting pattern on this.  Variegated thread was used on the top and and white thread on the back.

I can’t say how much I love variegated thread..or how much I love doing the squares quilting design.

This quilt was 100% recycled.  The top was shirts..the back a sheet and the batting left over pieces sewn together from other quilts.  It makes me feel like it was almost free.

Today, I am hooking up with……Confessions of a Fabric AddictLink a Finish FridayFreedom Fridays and Crazy Mom Quilts.

You can find MANY other free patterns on our site by looking under the free patterns tab at the top of the page under our banner.  Stop by again…

  1. Really like that quilting pattern with those plaids and stripes – it’s just the thing! I use soft recycled sheets with my charity quilts a lot – no piecing the backs of quilts! I have found flannel Star Wars sheets and Lion King sheets that have been perfect for little kids quilts.

  2. Thank you for such a lovely quilt pattern,which I want to make for my next project. I can’t see how much fabric is needed, would you be able to post the ‘ingredients’?

    Many thanks

  3. Just stumbled across your page and have meandered through it for the last 45 minutes. Love it! So sort 6 familyish. I only have Internet with my phone, no computer access. BOO. Enjoying your site.
