Mosaic Squares Shower Curtain

I finished this up last night—a fresh, fun shower curtain for our guest bathroom.I basically duplicated this beautiful curtain, made by Rachel of Stitched in Color. This one was all her idea, so thank you, Rachel! I love how the teeny patchwork squares almost look like glass tile. I decided to make mine in a softer color palette, in keeping with the color on the walls.The strip sets from last week's WIP Wednesday post became these teeny random patchwork squares that finish at 1" by 1". You can find out more about how to make it in Rachel's post. The biggest change I made to Rachel's instructions was, instead of sewing the shower curtain, I bought a basic white shower curtain from Target, cut a 6.5" strip out of it, and set the squares right into it. Easy peasy. No scary buttonholes required. : )I am rapidly becoming a convert to open-pressed seams. But for this project, I was all about side-pressing. I alternate the directions of my seam allowances (as shown above), so that they can nest up against each other as I'm piecing. Lines them up like a dream, with minimal effort—it's hard to give that up! I love the nice flat look of open-pressed seams, and they definitely seem to be the way to go with bias seams, but for a project like this, I couldn't resist going back to side-pressing.And I was hoping this project would cure me of my desire to make a postage stamp quilt. Strangely enough, now that it's done, I want to make a postage stamp quilt even more. What is wrong with me??(Edited to add: Per Angela's request, the paint is Valspar from Lowe's, and the color is "Silver Sea.")Linking up to Sew Modern Monday.
