Finally...My Postage Stamp Top
 
1 Attachment(s)
After almost 3 years of collecting and swapping, I've finally finished my postage stamp top. The hardest part was deciding on which pattern I wanted to use. I have fabric from all 50 states in the blocks, and each block is surrounded by international squares (<st1:country-region w:st="on">Germany</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Sweden</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Japan</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region>,<st1:country-region w:st="on">Croatia</st1:country-region>, and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:pNew Zealand</st1). This one is definitely a keeper. I still have quite a bit left over so I'm thinking about doing another. :eek:</st1:country-region>

It is stunning. You should keep it for yourself. I can't even begin to comprehend the work that went into making it. Thank you for sharing. Joyce in Delaware

Wowzers!! It's gorgeous. I love your sashing with the postage stamps as well.

oksewglad 06-02-2014 05:02 PM

What a way to showcase the squares! Dare I ask is it a "charm" postage stamp? Either way it's lovely! I notice a few fussy cut squares, too.:thumbup:

M.Elizabeth 06-02-2014 05:07 PM

A beautiful quilt and one I would be keeping for myself!

Twisted Quilter 06-02-2014 05:11 PM

I forgot to mentioned that these are 1.5" squares, and no duplicates were used. Thank you to everyone who participated in the swaps and fabric exchanges, especially those who did the fussy cuts. :eek:

Treasureit 06-02-2014 05:22 PM

That is just stunning....I am so inspired by it! But...nope not ready for that yet!

I'm pretty sure I've gotten 1.5 squares from you--you are welcome. I'm still working on mine from the swaps....it's a nine patch.
