Here’s our quilt!

The fabrics we chose are from In The Beginning: PROUD by Keri Beyer.
We cut our own strips from the Proud collection. We had so much fun sewing this quilt block that once we started we couldn’t quit and we ended up with a 74″ x 80″ quilt. We added a 3″ border to our quilt and a 1″ white inner border.
Finished size is: 80″ x 88″
Fabric requirements for our quilt:
26 @ 6″ x 44″ strips – cut into 52 @ 2 1/2″ x 44″ strips
2  1/2 yard - background fabric (we added a 1″ white inner border)
1  1/2 yard - outside border/binding
