I just got the top done, finally. I must do some other things before I can quilt it. I had lots of striped fat qtrs and used those up doing this. Why oh why I had to make this, I don't know.

Love your stripped quilt! The orange really pops the stripes.

I love it, would make a great donation quilt if you don't like it when finished. :)

The only hint in this one is to sew it together in angled rows. sort of like on point settings. that way, no Y seams. I didn't figure that out until I'd done the first full row of stars. hated doing Y seams on those orange diamonds. I did better as i went along.

Great use of your striped FQ's! Your quilt is beautiful and I hope you post it again after it's quilted...to me that is when a quilt just comes alive!

I think your quit is exceptional. At least on my screen all the oranges are sherbert like. I bet you know someone that would just love it. Heck I would just love it.

That is so cool! I'm from East TN...UT Vol's country and we like orange!!

Geri B 05-07-2014 05:28 AM

Great looking...is the F&P pattern from one of their books...is it foundation pieced, saw one similar at Bonnie hunters site.....hers used paper foundation back....am gathering misc. strips for it now...love the cheddar cheese background..that is so 30's! Am doing a BH bow tie now using that color as background....

Yours looks like it was fun..even with those Y seams...they are not so bad...

ghquilter53 05-07-2014 05:31 AM

I absolutely love this quilt.The orange really makes it.

cpcarolyn 05-07-2014 06:08 AM

Nice quilt.

nativetexan 05-07-2014 06:14 AM

nope, not foundation pieced. just strips cut and sewn into six inch width and cut into triangles. I dug in my stash and found another top i will use for backing. I'm trying hard not to buy anything new if possible. I just did buy fabric to use with some blocks i recently won though.

rural01 05-07-2014 06:50 AM

That is stunning!

needles3thread 05-07-2014 06:54 AM

I like it for its 'I'm different than ordinary" reasons. I like it.
