Hot Flash Quilt
 

Okay I finished another one!

I started this a year ago but set it aside to focus on another project. The pattern is called Hot Flash and is available online for free - I got it from a thread on here

I asked a friend what size and colour would she want if I made her a quilt. She has a nautical theme in her living room and she said she would love a grey and blue lap quilt. She has a hint of red in there as well so I added a tiny red border. The backing on it is a great nautical fabric that I found (I forgot to take a picture).

Aaaand in the last two weeks I have finished two baby quilts and three lap quilts! And now I officially have no WIPs left! I can start something brand new this week :)

That's beautiful, Lizzie! Your friend is bound to be thrilled. And congratulations on finishing all those quilts. You put me to shame.

wow....fabulous....can we have pics later of your other accomplishments. ...... Finishing a quilt is a big deal to us slow pokes.

I'm jealous! I can't imagine that situation -- I start new projects faster than I finish WIPs.

I've posted each picture over the last few days and it has felt so good! They are probably starting to get buried but if you check out my profile I have pics of everything I've made. The last 5 are the newest ones! :D

I started quilting 5 years ago (sewed garments before that) and I made a promise to only ever do one quilt at a time. I couldn't start a new quilt if I didn't finish the last one. And that lasted for three years...having 5 WIPs made me feel so outta control!! I feel like I can breathe again lol. Now to carefully choose the next pattern...

Beautiful. BrendaK

Terrific quilt, and congrats on all the finishes!

Congratulations on the finished quilts. This one for a friend is fantastic.

You did a good job on this.

Congratulations!

Love that quilt and congrats on the WIPs all finished! I can't imagine getting all mine done.

Very nicely done. Congrats at getting this UFO finished.

looks great:) Am going to save the link....I do several charity quilts a year. THank you.....love your colors.

Oooohhhhhh, Love your colors and especially the boarder cornerstones. Nice Job and thanks for sharing.

Scrappies of this block pattern often cause me to shrink back, but it seems that you have tamed the beast somehow. This one looks lovely!

Your version of the quilt looks so great....I saved that pattern for the future. Good job!

love the way this one comes out. i need to make one like it.

Great colors. I love how complicated this looks, yet it is actually very easy :-) Nice work.

And go shoe shopping! :)
Good for you!

Love the blue and grey colours and how lucky you are to not have any WIPs left to work on!! Wish coould say the same.

ghreat quilt i will always have wips lol!!!

That's a beautiful quilt! You have a lucky friend.

nicely done

Very pretty quilts!

You have inspired me to make one. Great quilt!

Wow, very striking.

Love your quilt! I wished I could say I was caught up but I'm not. I always just start too many at one time. They are in different stages & also different techniques so I do what I feel like doing that day.

Woohoo on the finishes. I really like how fun your quilt is... It would look great in many color combinations but I particularly like the blues. Great job.

I am envious! I have 7 tops to put together and quilt before we sell our home next year. The only fly in the ointment is that I am facing major back surgery and have no idea how long I'll be laid up. If I can at least finish the top, then maybe I can send them out to be quilted. Oh, my aching back!

Wow, congrats to you on finishing all of your WIP's. Love this quilt & she is going to love it too.

Great quilt -- love that Hot Flash pattern. I have made one of those and it goes together rather quickly! And -- I'm jealous of you with no WIPs left to do. I can't even imagine what it would feel like to get them All done!!! Kudos to you for that accomplishment!

Good for you for finishing your WIP's. I'm bad, as I have 5 baby quilts to finish, I hate the sandwiching part of quilting, but I need a "Hail Mary" to get them done. In addition to those, I am making things to sell at a craft fair the end of June, so busy, busy, busy.

Nice quilt.

Very nice.

Looking for the lynk for this pattern the blank quilting does not work

Very nice, like the colors

Wonderful quilt, your friend will love it.

That quilt made me gasp! It's gorgeous!

Anywhere else I can get the pattern? I get a 404 notice when I try your link.
