WIP Wednesday #1 - Sea of Squares

I'm working on another Sea of Squares quilt. It's an older QAL by Christa Quilts. I made this quilt last December as a gift for my MIL. It was a quick finish and this is the only picture I took before giving it away.

I modified the pattern slightly by adding an extra column and an extra row because, well... I had the fabric and I'm of the bigger = better mentality. The quilting was minimal. I straight-line quilted just a quarter-inch inside every block. The minimal quilting and super soft fabric made for such a smushy, comfy quilt that I hated giving this one away. So, The only solution was to make another one for myself. This time I'm using some long-hoarded charm packs of Sphere by Brigitte Heitland.

I've got my charm squares all sorted into my "X" blocks and "O" blocks. That really is the hardest part of this quilt pattern.

I also cut my "X" blocks and "O" blocks accordingly. 

As long as I can keep them all in order; with some chain piecing, this baby will be pieced into a top in no time.
