Completed Scrappy Trip Around the World

I’m happy to say my Scrappy Trip Around the World quilt is completed!   I think this is a new favorite 🙂   Except I usually say that after every quilt.

I’ve seen these types of quilts quite a bit on Pinterest since I’ve started quilting and always thought they looked really difficult to make with all of those tiny squares.  It turns out they are much easier than they look!  Bonnie’s tutorial on Quiltville is simple to follow and makes lining up squares a breeze.   I used her pressing method for the strips.

I did not press the blocks until the entire quilt was pieced.    I found it easier to interlock seams and line them up by not pressing until the top was pieced.

Quilt Photo fail!  I usually make my husband hold my quilts for photos so he kind of gave me a taste of my own medicine by making me sit there and hold it up for forever 😉   hahaha
