Construction Site

 This is a quilt from the To Do list and one I've wanted to make for a long time since I bought the book little bits QUILTING BEE. It turned out bright and cute. I had to trim the half-square triangle blocks down to 9" because they skewed a bit in the sewing. The quilt is still big enough. I used a layer cake (10" pre-cut squares) purchased from MSQC to make the top. Quilt to be donated to guild for their charity work. Donated to quilt guild July 2017.
