Some of you may remember the quilt I made my dd using all her old scrub tops. I finally quilted it and it's officially done! I put off quilting it untill I felt comfortable with freemotion feathers. They aren't as good as I would have liked, but overall I'm satisfied...What do you think?

Sorry I don't remember :oops: Where they her tops ?

Looks good to me :thumbup:

Very NEAT! Love the layout!
Nice Job!

Really good use of scrubs. Your feathers look good.

That looks great!!! Love the colors! I love scrub tops too! Theres some really pretty ones out there. :thumbup:

Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice work!

I'm sure it is very special to her. Love your immaginaton!! I never would of thought of using scrubs. I gave all mine away !

Thanks, but she hasn't seen it yet. It is a surprise for her anniversary.I'll mail it out in the next few days. :D

Very nice. Bet it's soft with the scrub fabric....Hope she's not on this site to ruin her beautiful special surprise. Love it.....

using scrubs? Wow, very impressive and like the feathers quiliting.

How creative!! And what a terrific job you did. Wonderful.

Please tell me, what is a scrub top, never heard that expression before.

It looks great by the way.

Thanks

It turned out great and your quilting looks awesome. Thanks for sharing the finished quilt. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :D :D :D

Looks great your Daughter will love it.

That is so cute.

A scrub top is the shirt part of a uniform worn by most hospital employees that are involved in patient care. Originally scrubs (as they are called by those who wear them) were only worn by the staff of the surgery dept. and by the staff in obstetrics. The past few years have seen more and more personnel wearing this type of uniform.

Scrubs are what the girls wear in Doctor's offices and in hospitals. Loose fitting tops and pants or lab coats. They come in lots of fun prints and solids. I just sold all of the ones I had left.

I think the feathers are wonderful!!!!!!!
You did a fab job!! Thanks for sharing :)

What a great gift. She is going to love it. I think you did a great job.

You did a great job, very pretty and what a good idea to use the scrub tops.

My daughter sent them to me a few years ago for her dd who was living with me at the time. As it turned out when my dgd left, she didn't want the scrubs and my dd didn't need them. I debated on selling or donating them and then :!: hit on the idea of making a quilt from them. I wish I could be there to see her face when she sees it.

looks great, thanks for sharing!, your quilting was good!

Ah thank you so much all of you who told me what a scrub top is, don´t know what its called here, but its not scrub top :-D

Thank you, I did not know what they were either, I see they are using them in the private hospitals here in NZ now. Very pretty quilt, your daughter will love it!

I know what my daughter-in-law will be saving for me in the future. She really goes through scrubs. Your quilt is beautiful!!! Who in the world would think this is constructed of scrubs! Again, beautiful and love the quilting. She should be very excited.

How did you learn the feathers?
K

Very, very nice :-P :-P

Very nice!

I learned mine by doodling, drawing the over and over again either on scrap paper or a white board.

you might try you tube, sorry I don't have a link. There a number of ways to make them, I use the one that works for me.

That is wonderful. :-) I have a stash of old scrubs I have put away for such a project. Some have the logos of the hospital I was working at on them. I want to incorporate those into the quilt to sort of trace my years as an RN. I really thought I would make it once i retire but if I wait for that day I may never get it made! :lol:

Wonderful! and another great idea of where to get fabric to use! You should be very proud. :idea: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I got the book, "hooked on feathers" and practiced a lot on paper first, then on fabric. It's like anything else, practice, practice, practice. I am not satisfied yet, so I need a lot more practice. :-)

UHHH..I like this one Ditter!!! :D I like the colors and certainly like your quilting!! :thumbup:

Nice job. :thumbup:

Cool! I have thought about doing this. In the thrift stores here there are always lots of super cute scrubs and I always thought they would make nice quilts! Sometimes they have dollar bag days, and I am just waiting to catch one of those days to stock up :) Your quilt is very pretty!

It turned out wonderful!!!

It's a smock like shirt that most Medical professionals wear, tops and bottoms. :D

Great job!!

BRAVO!! :thumbup:
