My Adventures In The Attic, Partie Deux

So, as you may remember, I was up in the attic last week... I also found this label-less quilt, it's a picnic quilt and the perfect thing to kick off summer! I made this one ten years ago from a pattern in "American Quilter" magazine, Summer 1997. I cannot find that particular magazine but have contacted the AQS to find the pattern name and perhaps a reprint of the instructions*. It's super easy, alternating framed blocks of two coordinating fabrics. I remember finding the fresh summery-looking plaid for the backing while vacationing in New England. It's simply straight-line quilted with a walking foot. Grab a pair of fabrics and sew one up for your own picnic basket! This one will get a label now. The quilt's name?

"Life's A Picnic"

~Life is Good~
...and sometimes it's a picnic, too!

The article describes using eight inch squares and two inch strips of two
related fabrics to create this type of nap quilt.
