Finished this baby...
You may remember this quilt from the start of its life on my design wall in the summer.
I have really enjoyed working with all this colour and texture.
Quilted, straight-line of course, in a simple diagonal crosshatch. The lines are one inch and one walking foot with the needle set on 7 apart - I am so tech savvy and precise.
All fabric from my scrap bins, except this turquoise blue backing fabric, which I happened to have in stash. I am partial to a simple, one fabric backing.
Finished off with a label. I love my labels. Machine stitched binding - both sides. One of these days I will put together my tutorial for my binding method.
Believe it or not - I am keeping this one for me!!! Already snuggled under it on the couch. Extremely cozy and relaxing to snuggle under your very own quilt that you made with your very own hands.

I must say making this quilt has encouraged me to work with my scraps yet again. I already have some more magic brewing on my design wall...
On an another note:
Have you been following Jan's chicken stories? Her chicken stories make me happy. I am a chicken lover at heart.
Wishing each of you a very happy weekend!

Wowwwww! Gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the diagonal crosshatch quilting really elevates it.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Hard to believe made out of scraps! Can't wait to see what else you can make from scraps.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love how it turned out!
ReplyDeleteTurned out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just love the colors you used and how you placed them!
ReplyDeleteYou chose such a great palette from your scraps for this one. I really like how you used your horizontal sashing fabric as occasional vertical strips so that they look like sashing too--kind of unifies the quilt and moves the eye. NOTHING is better than a finish you get to keep! Yeah yeah it's fun to give them away, but it's even better to take a quilt out of the dryer and snuggle right up under it!
ReplyDeletePretty impressive scrap bin you have there!! How wonderful that you are keeping this beauty to snuggle under and enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors. It really came together beautifully!
ReplyDeleteOmg Lisa it is so gorgeous! How wonderful that you kept it (I wouldn't want to give it away) I love the color palette you chose. I can't wait to see your new project I'm sure it is going to as beautiful as this one. It is amazing you had all these lovely fabrics in your scrap bins.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful and bright quilt. It would be a certainly brighten up any room.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt. It is spectacular. Now, about your label--where do you get those babies made? I love them.
ReplyDeleteLove it! The colors are great and that backing is awesome. Love to see your tutorial. I like seeing how everyone does it. I learn something everytime:)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours and great use of fabric scraps...the crosshatch quilting looks perfect :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour combination and I love the close-ups.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, the colours work so well together and the greys give the bolder colours room to breathe.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I'm amazed at how your scraps coordinate perfectly! Nicely done! I love the cross-hatching too. I fail at cross-hatching, I always get a tuck here and there and it drives me mad. Does extending the stitch length help with that?
