All but done

Just need to bind it but I'm not sure what color yet. This has been my "I only have 10 minutes" project for the last couple weeks. It's sort of a QAYG, I quilted the top squares with batting but no backing. I don't care for that look you get with a true QAYG with the strips that look like window sashing holding it together. I should have maybe waited for a walking foot before I did the last step, quilting the double lines that hold the backing in place but it'll do, will look better after washing, my lines were "5:00 am crooked" LOL.
I got several raves on my blog about my progress pics but I can't take credit for the idea, I saw a similar ticker tape quilt somewhere on flickr. The backing is a minky type silky fabric, that's the only cost involved in this one, a $5 remnant. It measures 36" square. I'll definitely make more of these, with different color center blocks. Thanks for peeking!

I have never seen anything like this. I would think that if you quilted to the batting and then did the backing later, you would get this really neat 3 D effect on the mosaic part which would be so cool. This has been an interesting view for me. Thanks, I really enjoyed seeing your quilt.
