Yesterday I completed my striped boxes quilt top. This photo is before I sewed it together but you get the idea. Each block is 10 inches square and the quilt is 16 blocks in total. Finished size is around 38 inches square. There will not be a border and it will be bound in a dark blue version of the striped fabric which was dyed in an indigo bath.
Here is a closer look at some of the smaller blocks. The fabric is quite stretchy and frays a lot so perfect boxes were unacheivable but I like them slightly wonky!

Lovely blocks!!
The last one is a bit 'busy' for me though!!
Yes, I had to look twice at Patches, how old is she??
Thanks for comments about the DCs, no they are not moulting, judging by what other people have said, I think they are not quite old enough yet, we're too excited and are impatient!!
Your squares are really effective. If the fabric wasn't so stretchy you'd be on to hexagons and octogons and decagons now- ha! ha!
