carolina chain

My 'carolina chain' quilt top is almost finished. This happy scrappy quilt is made using a pattern from Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville, here's the link- carolina chain quilt. At the end of last year I was halfway, and after a little break, I was back raiding my overflowing scrappy strip basket to make up more of these little tiny 5" blocks again. Today's show & tell is a few progress photos.

One more group done, onto the next . . .




Checking things out on the 'design floor' . . .

Linking up my progress with Kelly for 'needle and thread Thursday' here

Oh the lovely scrappiness of this one!!! I've started this pattern as a leaders and enders, very fun pattern. Can't wait to see your finished quilt.

LOVE your quilt! I'm working on this quilt too, but so far, I only have blocks made... Hope it ends up looking as good as yours does!
