I just finished this quilt top yesterday and would like to share with you. I got the basic idea from a catalog picture, but then I floundered, unable to figure out how the thing went together, so I just had to "wing" it.

Last spring, I wanted to make a French Braid quilt and, afraid that I could not choose wisely all the fabrics for the 6 different braid runs, I bought 6 pkgs. of Strawberry Fields Bali Pops. I only needed a few strips from each package, so I was left with about a gazillion Bali Pops strips. I still haven't made much of a dent in the leftovers, so I predict more Bali Pops quilt tops in my future.

The pattern is Hanging Gardens. Most LQS's I've been in have the pattern.

I've always liked this pattern. The Bali Pops are just the ticket.
Great job :thumbup: :thumbup:

Lynneander 10-02-2010 04:14 PM

That is so pretty! The design is wonderful!

weezie 10-02-2010 04:16 PM

Thank you, all! Yes, it was the Hanging Gardens pattern in Keepsake Quilting catalog that caught my eye. I am always on the lookout for nice patterns in which to use more of the leftover Bali Pops. Being a cheapskate, however, I chose not to pay the $9.00 + s&h and thought I could "do my own thing". I often borrow ideas from catalogs, but the Hanging Gardens construction turned out to be a wee bit mysterious. (I guess it serves me right!)

How pretty!! It looks like sun catchers!

RedGarnet222 10-02-2010 04:19 PM

How pretty! You did a great job on it too.

I absolutely love that quilt. Wish I could see it hanging up for a better view. Maybe when you quilt?

Kathy, thank you; I can "see" in my mind's eye many quilted feathers on that quilt ... especially on the off-white, BUT (big BUT, too!), I need to practice quilting feathers. I bought Sally Terry's book, "Hooked on Feathers" recently, so I need to practice, practice, practice.

Those are not ALL Bali Pops either. I also have quite a lot of Stonehenge (I think that's the right name) blended in there.

I forgot to add that you did a great job without the pattern, turned out really pretty.

dreamer2009 10-02-2010 04:42 PM

This turned out really great :)

Rachelcb80 10-02-2010 04:50 PM

Oh I LOVE it! But then, I've loved every quilt you've posted. You are a very talented quilter indeed.

Very nice job "winging" it! :)
