Squash Squad Almost Finished!

This weekend I worked on the last of the Squash Squad blocks - a Sue Spargo project on Instagram. So, pictured above is Block #9 and pictured below are all nine blocks sewn together.

Then it was time to decide what to do about a border...

I decided to add a small black border (I cut the border strips at 1 3/4 inches), then I carried some of the background embellishments from the blocks out into the border.  I'm really happy with it!  Now a pretty Fall backing and some black binding and I'll get ready to quilt it.  The whole thing measures about 18 inches sqaure - a perfect little wall hanging for Fall 🍁

Below is Michelle's Block #9, done in mirror image and with a pretty colorful little caterpillar!

Here are her  nine blocks all laid out, as she contemplates how she wants to do the quilt top.  I'll have to post a picture when she gets the top all done!

I just had to share this picture Lisa posted on Instagram.  She did her squash all on a cream background and embellished a fancy border with leaves, vines, flowers and bees.  I love it!

This brings me to giving thanks - this time to QUILT TEACHERS, who share their creativity, their designs, their time and talent.  I have learned so much over the years from many different quilt teachers.  This Squash Squad project was provided for free on Sue Spargo's Instagram and website.

❤️❤️ #givethanks to all the wonderful quilt teachers out there!! ❤️❤️
