I guess you've spotted a few of these quilts around lately? There's lots of variations & inspiration . . . see here for the sessomsquilt by Carolyn Friendlander, and over here for Sujata's selection of similar 'freeform' quilts. And then there's more scrappy happenings over here by Leeanna from 'not afraid of color' and Julie here recently finished her amazing 'flower garden' version too.
So today I had the time and the motivation, and a pile of leftover scrappy squares that needed to be turned into something.
I plan on going scrappy of course, but with a few designer treats thrown in. After playing with these 6" blocks up on the design wall, I've now got some direction with my colours and where I want my lights & darks to go. And I will put aside other fabrics that might work as I sew other things.
Until next time, Linda
Another bright quilt, it is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cheerful, I bet you're having fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous Linda! You have a beautiful range of blue fabric. I wish I owned a few of those.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the shout out -- the widow of the gentleman that quilt was gifted to (comfort quilt for end stage cancer) loves it and loves the memories attached to it.
ReplyDeleteThose look like a lot of fun. A great SCRAPBUSTER!!! They will make a cheerful quilt.
ReplyDeleteAh, I was wondering what size the blocks were and as Preeti says a great scrapbuster.
ReplyDeleteA very fun scrappy project.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of leftovers! And lots of play time!! My favorites!
