As we are heading into summer, this fun little quilt makes me want to pack a picnic lunch and find a grassy spot under a big shade tree.
The original pattern size was 48 1/2" X 60 1/2".
I wanted mine a little larger, so I added a 4" border.
On my design wall the border looks a little too white, but once it's quilted I plan on adding a darker binding which will frame it nicely.
Picnic comes from the wonderful book Scrap Basket Sensations by Kim Brackett.
I found it for a good price on Amazon.com
The entire quilt is made from 2 1/2" strips.
Looking at 4 blocks together, I also see flowers.
