Ragged Squares Quilt Progress

I have been a busy girl working on my quilt... the squares came together quite quickly as it is just sewing 3 different sized squares on top of each other, no piecing or anything tricky... then I spent a good hour trying to get the arrangement of the squares right... in the end this is what I ended up with...

It is quite small, so it didn't take long to sew the top together... now that it is together I can see a couple of squares that shouldn't be next to each other, but oh well! Still loving the colour combination...

Then I pinned my top to some batting and some blue flannel backing so that it will be nice and soft... now all that is left to do is quilt it all... As of yesterday I have quilted 4 of my 30 squares... this could take a while...

Also, after my last post I would just like to reassure you that I didn't get caught up in the bushfire frenzy that has ripped through Victoria... well, not entirely... My house is still standing and my family are all safe and well, which I am thankful for... We did have a fire at the base of the hills I live in, but thankfully they got it under control quite quickly because they didn't want a repeat of the Ash Wednesday fires going through the Dandenong Ranges... Our street got told we were under threat and most people evacuated... I was already out, but had a eerie view of the fires from where I was... My heart goes out to all the people out there who have been affected by these fires...
