I just love today’s Friday Finish. It’s a toddler or throw quilt made and designed by Kelli..quilted and bound by me.
If you’re looking for a quick quilt, the construction is really quite easy.
If you want to make one for yourself you need:
1 3/4 yards novelty print
1 3/4 yards total of solid prints
1/2 yard binding
4 yards backing
49 squares of novelty print cut in 6 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ squares.
1152 square of solids cut in 2″ x 2″ squares.
Sew the squares together as shown in sets of four. Mixing up the position of the colors. Make 98 units.
Sew the squares together as shown in sets of six. Mixing up the position of the colors. Make 98.
Sew the strip sets onto the 6 1/2″ novelty print squares as shown.
Sew the square together. Don’t worry if the same solid color touches. You won’t see it in the end.
From the remaining squares, sew two sections that have 42 squares and two sections that have 44 squares. Add them to the outside edges of the quilt.
Now you’re ready to quilt it.
I quilted mine with a square motif. I used Maxi-Lock® Swirl – Variegated Thread 3,000 yds – #56 Tie Dye Punch
The quilt ends up being 66″ x 66″. You can easily add or subtract blocks to make it the size you are looking for.
This quilt is going in the donation pile. The next time a benefit, disaster or someone in need has use of it, we are passing it along to them.

This is lovely – and so simple. This has just become my next “to do” quilt! Well done.
Beautiful! Love the simplicity, combined with the perfect size/shape blocks for a novelty print like this – and the tutorial takes the guesswork out of how to construct it! THANKS!
Cool quilt! You two are so creative. I have you in my “Must Reads” list.
What a wonderful quilt!! Love the novelty print too!! Well done, Kelli…and Mom!! :o))

Love Kelli’s quilt. I have wanted to use that quilting pattern and really like it on a kid’s quilt. Will have to try it in the near future. Today is my first hook up with a link party. I also hooked up with the above blogs. Whoop, Whoop!
Lovely colours, lovely robots!
