Fireworks
This throwback Thursday I am showing one of my favorite quilts. It was completed May 2013. It started as a shop hop quilt.

Instead of a pillow, I decided to make a small wall hanging. For the setting triangles and border For one of the pillows, I saw that there was going to be leftover strips, so I did some math and figured I could get 4 of the same sized strips from one charm square. I also figured that I could make 56 blocks with the strips. This setting only needed 50. I like pieced backs…
