This quilt caught my eye and captured my heart from a book I've had for awhile. I finally got around to doing it. This is the first quilt I've done with a lot of applique, and I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. I just did straight-line quilting on my home machine. This is another scrap-buster--you'd think I'd be using these scraps up, but there doesn't seem to be any end to them!

Beautiful - your applique is amazing.

WOW! Gorgeous!!! That's a lot of quilt to do on your home machine!! Very Nice!!

B. Louise 02-05-2011 03:50 PM

I can see why that caught your eye. It is very pretty. Quite an accomplishment with all those little 9 patches and dthe applique.

Oh how pretty and cheery! Reminds me of spring if it ever gets here.

Great job of this quilt. I love that you were able to use a lot of your scraps on this quilt. It is beautifully done :-)

Amazing! The applique really adds a lot to a simple nine patch quilt.

I am working on that same quilt! It is on the back of a book I got at the used book store for $3.00! I only have 13 of the 9 patches done and I am using squares instead of hourglasses. I hope my turns out as nice as yours!!

I love the used book store!

It's from Quick and Easy Scrap Quilts from Leisure Arts. It was pretty easy, but I wouldn't call it quick! It's the same book that CMinor showed a picture of on page 1.

Stunning!! I love the applique with those blocks :D:D:D

hobo2000 02-05-2011 05:13 PM

You just can't get any prettier than a 9-patch. You can do so much with that little patch. Goodvjob,its lovely.

Jingle 02-05-2011 05:34 PM

Absolutely beautiful, the color choices are outstanding and it looks so bright and happy. You did a great job on it.

Jill 02-05-2011 05:36 PM

I'm making the same quilt! I have made several from that book. I skipped the applique since I've not done it before and plan to use a border instead. I thought it would use up my scraps but I've still got plenty left.

dkabasketlady 02-05-2011 06:00 PM

STUNNING!!!!

ilovetosew 02-05-2011 06:16 PM

Lovely quilt, and I really mean that. Scraps are so cool, I can't hardly part with mine, it becomes personal. Great work and you have every reason to be proud.

Great scrap quilt. I agree about the stash never shrinks.
I am convinced fabric grows at night. Like a worm it grows back its tail.
Happy quilting
Severna

I can easily see why that pattern caught your eye. Your quilt turned out very pretty. You did great with all those little 9 patches, pat on the back! Love me a scrappy quilt!!
