Mini Maxx

I just had to use up the leftover bonus half square triangle units from my PJ Maxx project.  Mini Maxx is 42" x 48".  Just the right size for a child or a puppy (yes I have made doggie quilts in the past).  I machine quilted it with a free form wavy horizontal line.  Gotta love left over units!

PJ Maxx - First Quilt of the New Year!

I wanted to use some of the 5 inch squares that I had in my scrappy stash box.  When I make PJ's for the grandsons I will cut the leftover flannel into 5" squares & 2 1/2" strips.  That way I have some fabric ready to go into a project when I get the "bug".  I threw in a few cotton scraps as well in this project.  I made half square units and put them into an Around the World layout.  I used a strip of the half square units in the backing as well to lengthen the flannel to the right measurement.  Easy, peasy.

The quilt ended up being about 68" x 81".  Backed with a cozy flannel.  Of course the name of the quilt came fairly quickly - PJ Maxx.  A little play on words there.

May your new year bring you much peace, contentment, and joy.  God Bless!

Amazing what a few 5 inch squares can do!

Used a strip of the half square triangles on the backing.

and of course, the label!

A matching pillow case from the remaining fabric.
