I really pushed myself to finish this Windy City quilt top. The pattern for this quilt is in a 1990 book, "Scrap Happy - Quick-Pieced Scrap Quilts" by Sally Schneider. I made the first one from this pattern about 18 years ago with floral fabrics. I made the first flannel one about 15 years ago. I made flannel quilts for everyone in my family for Christmas that year. I had some blocks left over from it and over the years made a few more blocks. This year I made up my mind to make the rest of the blocks and finish it. I'll look for fabric for the back today. It is 59.5" x 76".

I put the last four blocks up on the design wall for Neapolitan, decided I didn't need to move any blocks and sewed the top together. It is 45" x 52.5" right now. I might try auditioning borders but I don't think I have anything I would like with it so it probably will just be a small quilt.

I also pieced a back for this quilt. I had 3 long pieces that were 18-24" wide that I sewed side by side. The strips will go top to bottom on the back of the quilt.
