Tokyo Subway Map Quilt

I am so so so excited to have this one finished!



I worked on this full steam this fall, and then it sat waiting to be finished until I was done with gifts. I finished binding it on New Year's Eve - one last 2013 finish!

I used Remix rainbow stripe for the back, and Remix chevron for the binding - I wanted to continue the rainbow 'theme' of the front. I quilted 1/4" away from the 'lines' on the outsides of the 'lines.' I think I might like it to have more quilting, but I'm not sure what else I would do besides more straight lines.

My favorite part is probably looking at all of the small scraps left over from previous projects - such fun finding them!

This is my new favorite quilt to snuggle under this winter! I highly recommend this pattern if you like to piece tiny squares! (my favorite!)

I seem to have shoved aside all other projects in favor of this one. 10 more blocks since last week. They are the potato chips of sewing for me lately-I just can't make one. I love it.

In other progress I've quilted my negative space project and it just needs me to make bias binding and finish it up! Good thing it has a deadline or I'm sure these blocks would push it aside! Maybe I need to start thinking about fabric for the backing of the subway quilt....

Sewing time is still pretty scarce these days, but I have managed to squeeze in a few minutes here and there and that can add up!

I started my Tokyo Subway Map quilt last Thursday at my sewing day. I only finished two blocks, but I can't wait to work on this more! I pieced three more blocks worth of strips on Friday and just had time today to sew them into blocks. 

It is so satisfying for me to piece tiny squares! It makes me want to make many more quilts like this! I think this will be a fairly quick finish.

On Saturday while the baby napped a bit and the big kids played outside with daddy, I made four quilt backs! I generally dislike piecing quilt backs, but doing them in a batch like this seemed easier. I even managed to get two quilts basted that afternoon while the kids napped! Now to just have time to quilt them!
