It was hard to decide which one to make first, but I made my own version of " Up, Up, and Away."
In the book, Amanda used 2 1/2" squares and sewed a little scrap to one corner of each square.
I used 3" squares, and sewed scraps on the corners, sort of in a hit and miss form. Also, I pieced an extra coloured square to each end of every row, to form a border. I love it.
My quilt measures 57 x 61 and used a whole lot of scraps. I knew I saved those little connector corners for a reason : )
Happy Easter Sunday.

Carla,
I LOVE what you did with the up, up and away pattern. It looks amazing!!! The colored blocks around the quilt are a beautiful addition.
It's gorgeous! And I'm so glad you like the book.
Definately a good choice Carla!
I was in the shop on Thursday and picked up some new pieces for a wall quilt/table topper...I have everything cut out now for the sewing part!
Beautiful quilt. I think it is one of the best new books on the market for sure!
LOVE it Carla! Nice job! (Currently wiping the drool from my chin!)
