Good Morning, everyone! Our local agriculture center is having a festival in April to raise money and they asked if I would make a quilt for the raffle. This is what I came up with. All of the colored fabrics are not scraps exactly but are leftover yardage from other quilts and finds from the remnant bin at Joann's.
I pieced the back with the rest of the yardage and leftover 9 patch blocks. There were a lot of leftover 'blades' from the French braid border so I stitched them together for the binding.

Very beautifully done.

Beautiful quilt dilyn. but then yours always are. Love the braided borders and the quilting is great. This should be a great fundraiser for the group.

BEautiful! That will be a successful raffle for sure. Your quilting is great!

I love everything about this. Your borders, your quilting, your pieced backing.....

superb quilting... and love, love the backing. What a wonderful Irish Chain quilt and great use of scraps (so to speak).
I'm sure your raffle donation will be greatly appreciated.

Beautifully pieced and beautifully quilted.

Beautiful creation! It is attractive in every way. It is a quilt that will have very broad appeal and I hope it will raise lots of money for your project. I really like your quilting motifs.

There are so many elements I love about your quilt. I love that they light square in your 9 patches are different from your white alternating blocks. From a distance this isn't evident, but up close, it's a little surprise. The french braids in the borders are brilliant. They keep your eye moving and give the quilt energy. And your quilting- Wow! I love that you've divided up the border and used several quilting motifs in there. It gives it a truly modern flair. Your circular feathers in the large blocks are mimicked in the swirls in the border and are very pleasing to the eye. Great quilt. Hope it makes lots of money for your group.

Love it and your quilting.

Very pretty, should bring big bucks. The back looks very pretty and makes a two sided quilt.

I really like the back. I try to do something to every backing. But, I had not thought of putting the 9 patches askew! Great idea! Really gives it a little extra something. (My only 'complaint' about this blog is that I always leave with way too many new ideas for things I want to try!!!!! - thanks, I think!).

Dynamite quilt and quilting. Scrappy is my all time favorite.

Great quilt, I love the colors and the quilting!

WOW, great quilt. I love how you used a braid in the borders, great idea. I hope it makes a lot of money for your agricultural center..
