A few scrappy quilts
4 Attachment(s)
In the summer of 2012, a friend asked me if I would like some squares of fabric that she had cut for her mom to make quilts with. Well, her Mom never got them sewn, and she wanted to find a home for the fabric, and I said that I would make use of it. So, she dropped off 3 tubs, about 15x30 and 2 tubs, about 12x20. One of the larger tubs was full of uncut pieces of fabric, and all the rest were cut blocks, 2.5--3.5--& 4.5 inch squares. Wow, what a gift. So, I got busy and am going to post some of the finished quilts that I have done.
This first one I am giving to the friend who gave me all the material. [ATTACH=CONFIG]398751[/ATTACH] This next one goes to my boss, who is a great boss to work for. [ATTACH=CONFIG]398752[/ATTACH] This one went to my son in law, for Christmas. [ATTACH=CONFIG]398753[/ATTACH] This last one doesn't really have a home to go to yet, but think it will be given away at the family reunion in July, and I will just use the boys' names. [ATTACH=CONFIG]398754[/ATTACH] I will use scrappy fleece for the backing and use the dark blue for the binding, but just wanted to include it here. I also have 4 others at varying stages of completion, and by the amount of squares I still have in tubs, I figure that I can probably make another 6 to 10 quilts, and that isn't even touching the uncut fabric. Am I just too lucky? As I read someplace, my stash is STABLE=Stash Accumulated Beyond Life Expectancy. Never thought I would say that. LOL |

Great scrappies! I love how you used that striated fabric in your triangle setting blocks of the on-point quilt, and let the blocks float, nice!

What a treasure trove and you have already made some very nice quilts. What a treasure to have so many squares already cut out. Please keep us posted as to your later creations. Lucky you to have such a nice friend.

Congrats! Sorry she never got to them, but I bet she is smiling, knowing someone who appreciates them is. Enjoy!

It looks like the person gave the quilt pieces to the right person. I can't imagine anyone doing better with them. Your work is beautiful!
|
Thanks for sharing some great quilts. I bet your friend loves hers!

Beautiful use of the pre-cut squares. Happy quilting.

I really like what you are doing but esp. the last one. I've copied it for an interesting idea for a scrappy for me as I always seem to have so many scraps (probably because people give me a lot--as I've told people in our churches that support us that I will take them off their hands.). :)

Some people have great luck, LOL You did a great job making use of the fabric you received. Would love to see what you make out of the uncut fabric. Have a great time with all that free fabric.
