If you need a fast quilt and have a striped fabric, Quartered Square by Missouri Star Quilts is your pattern. I picked up the fabric Sunday afternoon and finished the top and still got to watch most of the baseball game. Admittedly the game didn’t start until after 9 PM my time, but I was done by 10:15 PM.

My first choice of backing from my stash wasn’t long enough — even with a diagonal seam. The second piece I pulled would work, but I wasn’t in love. This morning I looked in the cabinet and found this piece. It will only be 4″ wider than my top, but I’ll make it work.  I’ll get it pieced tonight, then make a decision on the thread color – Cotton Candy, Magic Mint, or Strawberry Blonde. All of them work.
