Scrappy Plus

My 130 plus X units are sewn together and it’s big and bright. I had to lay it out on the floor to get a photo as the grass was wet yesterday. 

I started making these blocks in August, and just kept at it.

I kept track of the color of the plus part of the block so that colors would be evenly represented.  The X parts are more random. I tried to use a similar color in the X’s, but the variation keeps it interesting. 

The blocks finish at 7.5 “, so I laid it our 10 across and 12 down.  It measures 72” X 90”.

The quilting will reduce the size a bit . . .

These are all fabrics from my stash, many of them scraps. I’m staring at it now considering how to quilt this big thing.  (I get tired of making quilts that are too small!)

Linking this finish with Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish it up Friday.
