Pop-as-in-pop-corn quilt

As in the squares really pop :))

I've done two more quilts with this 4" finished squares and 1,5" finished sashing and I started this one with quilting in mind :). I wanted the squares to pop out without using extra batting under them, like I did before.

So the big thing was quilting it. I found out that they pop out best when I sew about 1/4 walking foot away from the stich. I now realise I could have sewn another 2 rows on the white, but it would have been a little stiffer and I guess it's not what you want from a baby quilt.

Yeah, I'm more than ok with it like this :)

One special moment for this quilt was the binding. After 2-3 quilts where I had big doubts about the binding I choose, this one was really really cool. I think it made a lot of difference and it helps a lot with the poping :)



And because I rarely get to see exactly how big a quilt is in real life, I decided to clean my sofa for this one :)))



Next step: rearrange the shelf :D
