Since I am on a fabric moratorium for the rest of the year, I am trying to use up a lot of the 4, 5, and 6" fabric sample squares I have accumulated. Here is a quilt using up 6" squares, and some five inch squares. At first when deciding if to put on a border I thought I would need something to calm it down, I saw the black and white check and thought,,,no, really, oh give it a try. I think it works.
Blocks are free cut in a slash, mix and sew. No particular pattern except that they radiate out from the center. The black square was an after thought but I think it gives the quilt definition.

Nice

Very pretty!

neat!

Love your quilt! The black center really does make the blocks pop.

Awesome quilt and I love your commitment to using what you already have! :thumbup:

I like it.

Nice quilt and a good use of your scraps----I'm doing the same, trying to use up my scraps.

Wow. very creative.. Great job.. And hmmm Do i see a wide stash of fabric from behind your quilt on that HUGE shelving unit.. ?!?!??! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Very nice....I see quite the stash behind your quilt lol

I like those.

Really nice :-P

Cute idea for a quilt. Like the red border.

You can't fool me, I see all that fabric behind the quilt.

OH! I really like this! That black square in the of ythe blocks center really finishes it off perfectly!!

I like it, reminds me of the ones my grandmother used to make, using what she had on hand.

Good job of using up your stash. You are of good example for some of us.

That's really cute as a finished quilt.

Well I never said I didn't have a stash......That is the reason I am on the moritorium....flat out of space. So far I have only done some damage to the sample square bin. I have not touched the layer cakes, jelly rolls or charm squares. Hmmm maybe when I get to piecing all those backs for all the tops I am doing up, maybe I will create some breathing room on the shelves....right now I think if I tried to cram one more fat quarter in there the whole house would just 'splode.

Love it!! If you are planning to use up your stash I Can see that you are set for a couple years or so. I love peeking behind your quilt. You are such a tease :thumbup:

That is quite an impressive Stash peeking out from behind your quilt! I understand completely your Moratorium on Buying...

Wow that is some stash you have behind the quilt. You are in for a lot of sewing. I imagine that will last for more than a year. Good thing you have so much extra space. Lucky you.

My kind of quilt, very pretty!

Gal

pretty!

How did you get you blocks to all look the same as far as cutting (the fan shape)?

I like it too. What a neat design..Keep up the good work..your stash will disappear soon...

Great use of what you already have.

I really like this. Looks so sweet and old fashioned. Very clever of you.

very nice. I wish I could do something like that. My mind dosen't work that way though, I need to visualize it first. Not much fun sometimes when you just want to be creative.

I was just thinking the same thing, um could you move your quilt please so we could see the stash too??? Your quilt is pretty!

Really scrappy and wonderful!! Now I know what to do with my left overs too!

Very interesting pattern, nice work!!

Beautiful, I like it a lot!

This is beautiful. Now I don't feel so badly about all the fabric I have hoarded. What is the name of the pattern? Can I find it someplace on the web?
THanks for sharing. Muslin on the back?

but ... it's only January!

i am with you. i am trying not to buy anything new until i use up a good portion of what i have. It is amazing how far the scrap pile will go. Made a full size dresden with just shades of blue i had and even used different color squares of blue for the backing(still have loads of blue left!) Loved the look of the pieced backing - never had done it before, but will definitely do so on the next scrap quilt i am planning.

Very cool! The border looks great...nice way to use up those scraps and make a wonderful quilt :)

That is a great looking top! I need to do the same thing with some of the fabrics I've had for a decade or longer.

very cute; nice use of your stash.

Just love it! You did a great job with the fabric selection & colors! I too am on a 'fabric diet' this year! It's a year to complete that which I've started and use up what I have!
Blessings,

I like it! The black and white draws all the other colors together. I'm having fun, tho a bit of a challenge. on the fab mo (fabric moratorium). Can't wait to see all the creations.
