Another nephew

Finished another nephew quilt in 2014.


All washed and crinkly.



The navy and white backing fabric was a whopping 38 inches wide once I took off selvages and got it washed.  Luckily I had some extra blocks that I didn't use for the front that I used to make it wider.



I had pinned a similar pattern but I was able to draft it myself.  The pattern called for little bitty squares and triangles but I tried my hand at improv piecing.  I wasted a bunch of fabric and it really was a stretch to not think so hard at it but it was a lot of fun.

The basics of the quilt were half square triangles, one solid and one patterned and then add really wide sashings between them.
