Quilt Number 2-Bricks

I started this quilt when B was TDY.  I really like black and white effects and so that is how I chose my Fat Quarters.  I could have done a little better in that department.  I scored the backing on a red tag sale and the binding was inherited from my aunt.  The binding strips were cut with my new Accu Quilt 2 1/2 inch strip cutter!  I am in love.  I followed the Snuggly Bricks tutorial, it was very easy to follow and I loved the diagrams. I had enough fabric left to make half sized bricks to add three rows to the back.  As you can see this is child-sized and Willa approved.  I am calling it my couch quilt unless I decide to donate it to the Children's Museum's silent auction coming up.  Not sure if I am brave enough to let my work go out into the world.  Next up is either a tumbler quilt or a Sudoku one.  I already cut my squares for that one.  (Again Accu Quilt Cutter).

I love even more that you added the bricks to the back of the quilt too! Such a great idea!
