another scrappy- completely out of my stash top done
 
2 Attachment(s)
i've been looking at this quilt pattern for years- finally decided i could probably do it out of my stash- got out my tote of batik scraps- and started sorting- then instead of a cream batik the pattern called for i figured i probably had enough white on white scraps to use for backgrounds-
once i had the fabrics sorted i started cutting it all out-
then a day of piecing 4-patches & half=square triangle blocks
a couple days (building the blocks)
and on sunday managed to put it all together-
going together on the diagonal was an (adventure!) i managed to get the top half together to the center- then on the bottom half---kept doing things...upside down & backwards (mirrored) seam ripper had a work out! but once i (finally) got my mind around what i was doing it came together...i am pretty happy with it.

I have been looking at that pattern too. Got it on my bucket list but I better get some of those UFO's done first.
Love the colors you used.

That is simply gorgeous. I have a ton of batik scraps, this looks like it would be a fun quilt to do. Thanks for showing it to us.

Brilliant! I love the pattern, and the fabrics, and I just love scrappy quilts.

ckcowl 02-21-2012 08:07 AM

the pattern was called "prairie skies"
it was in a magazine i think from 2009----i don't remember which magazine-i'm at work & it's at home---but i will look it up tonight & let you know.
thanks all for the compliments---it seems (spring-y) to me---i am getting so i like white backgrounds more & more :)

Awesome colors in your quilt! My scraps seem a bit dreary in comparison! Great quilt!!

LindaM49 02-21-2012 09:32 AM

OMG...that is gorgeous!!! This may sound stupid but...your quilt is exactly what I think of when I think of a quilt. :) Lots of bright colors using your own imagination of what you want it to look like. When I look at this old quilt that my husband's grandmother made...it's a lot of scraps of the whole families clothing that she just put together. And me... I sit down and write lists of fabrics to look JUST LIKE whats shown in the patterns. I need to try and be more creative. LOL

MaryStoaks 02-21-2012 09:33 AM
