I Loved Making This Quilt! No Squaring Up Was Needed!! see post #1 for tut and links
 

The corner of one block became the corner of the next! It came out so perfectly aligned that no squaring up was done at all! I absolutely loved making it and want to do another! I put fun fabrics in the centers and the white stars created between blocks make perfect areas for feather quilted wreaths. There were butterflies and lobsters in this one. I have no idea the name of the block. I just referred to it as the 'flower quilt'. That's what I put on the label. I failed to get a pic of it before it was shipped off of the pretty burgundy border and label. It went to a charity who only requested blocks. A LA was on site to finish the quilts so I'll bet they do pretty feather quilting in it. I loved the pieced back of large flying geese flying across it horizontally and vertically in homey fabrics (done a long time ago). It was for WWP and goes to Germany to the soldiers there. I'll post pics how they finished it when I receive the pictures from them. I sent a completed quilt and 3 quilt tops plus this almost finished one. I have a pic in its early stages and then the final. Thank you for looking!

Very pretty scrappy!

I like it! Very pretty scrappy.

Oh I like it! Scrap quilts are my favorite!!

That is a very pretty quilt & an excellent way to use up part of your stash. Thanks for sharing.

Looks very pretty I'm sure it will be appreciated. Sue

Love the colors!

what is the name of the pattern? Is it a Bonnie Hunter?

well that looks like FUN...I love scrappy and this one is just nice to look at!

Yes! I have to tell you that every single 4P met the inside of those star points precisely! I didn't have to try. I noticed it will automatically happen if the cutting went correctly and the 4P's were sewn correctly...lol....(this is similar to a Kansas Dugout block meeting a 4P -- same type of conditions). Anyway, it's my most perfectly matched quilt so far!! haha! Didn't think that would ever happen...lol..Thank you so much, Tartan!!

I have no idea the name of this pattern and have never searched to find out. Because the star points remind me of a flower, that's why I gave it that name. No, it is definitely not a Bonnie Hunter pattern. I had seen a quilt done like this one time. I have no idea where they got it either or where it was from. Maybe someone here knows the name of it.

Great pattern and great use of scraps.:thumbup:

Great quilt, I like it! Scrap quilts are one of my favorites:thumbup:!!

Oh that's really pretty!

Where did you get the pattern???I would love to try it. cmaras

I love your quilt. It is so colorful and cheerful.

Beautiful, wonderful job!

I've never bought a pattern in my life! I'm the type who doesn't need patterns. I can just look at something and tell how it was made and draft my own or design my own work. Just in case some others want to try it too, I will draw up some directions and post a little mini tut on this thread. It got really confusing when I tried moving blocks around on the design wall because they are all connected to each other so I don't recommend that. Otherwise, it's a piece of cake to put together. Thank you, cmaras1234, and I'll be posting some instructions on it soon!

Thanks everyone for your encouraging words! n2

That is one of the prettiest scrappies I have seen. It would have been hard for me to part with that one.

This is a really pretty quilt! I love scrappy quilts, and if I had made it, I would have a hard time giving it up!

Just beautiful, great job, scrappy is my favorite
Have a Blessed day

I'm working on a very similar quilt..hope mine turns out as nice as yours!

Beautiful :)

It is definitely different and would be so much fun sitting and lookingat all the different fabrics!

very pretty love when they go together perfectly

I like it!!

I can see why you love this quilt!! I must go back and read all the posts to see if the pattern information is here. I would love to make one like it.

Beautiful quilt.

Beautiful scrappy! Would love to see a tute on it!

[QUOTE=kwilter;4861239][COLOR=#4B0082][FONT=comic sans ms][B]This quilt is wonderful! It's on my bucket list for sure. Looks like 4-patches, geese and rectangles...although the patch with the geese may be different. Is this correct?

That's great! I can't tell you enough how easy and fun this one was to do! I also loved the fact 'no sashing' was needed between blocks! I also loved the fact that it appears to have been placed on point without having to go to all that trouble! Also, if you look at the date on the pics, you'll see I only had a few blocks done on the 13th and in 3 days I had the whole quilt sewn together and finished except for the final border! Yes, you are right! The patch with the geese is different. In fact, there are no geese and no rectangles in this one. You'll need 18 flower blocks and lots of 4P's (I'll have to draw up the directions soon!). The blocks are joined horizontally, then rows, then long vertical sashing (or the middle of the stars) to join the rows. Look for my mini tut on this one. I'll post that later today. Be looking for it. Thank you so much, kwilter, for your interest!!

Pretty scrappy! :)

I LOVE it!!!

I love this !! So pretty and perky and fresh looking!!

Would love to have directions. It is so pretty!

Very pretty!

n2scraplvr - What a fantastic quilt. Whoever receives it will truly appreciate it. I am looking forward to your tut.

Ok, gang, here are the instructions for the Flower Quilt! Let me know if there are questions!


# of flower blocks needed: 18 (12 darks; 6 med.)
4.5" white squares needed: 17 (these are the alternate blocks)
4P's needed: 66
2.5" squares needed: 264
fin. 4P = 4"
fin. block = 12"
fin. quilt = 49.5 x 65 (includes a 4" border)

1 block = (5) 4P's + 4 star points or flower

1) On the design wall, lay out your (5) 4P's with the 4 star points or the flower.
2) Lay out the blocks on your wall for 3 rows. Don't worry about getting the right colors beside one another. You can move the blocks around later for color balance after the blocks are sewn together. For now, you just want to start filling in the design wall. (see picture 1)
3) Once you have a few blocks on the design wall and you're happy with it, sew the blocks together. {(5) 4P's + 4 star points.} They are then much easier to move around.
4) Place 8 blocks on the wall and start filling in with the white squares between them. Fill in the flowers of the 3 blocks between the 2 rows. The 3rd row will reveal the tops of the flowers that will start off your 4th row -- the tops only.
5) Next, you will be sewing together the vertical strips between the blocks. This vertical strip contains a white square, the top star point of your flower, a 4P, the bottom star point, a white square, and the last piece is the top of the flower that starts your next row.
6) Sew together all 3 vertical strips between each flower.
7) Join blocks to vertical strips.
8) You now have 3 rows sewn together. Remove from the wall and repeat the same for the last 2 rows.
9) Join the 2 halves together.

I haven't figured out how to put a heading on my pics so I'll just describe it here the pics that follow. I did use paint.net to edit my photos. I believe you can figure it all out.

I show pics of the inspiration piece I followed. Don't remember where online I found this pic, but the quilter hadn't put her quilt together then. She used lots of pinks and it truly is pretty. It's just laying out on the floor. You can see how the blocks go together. It just dawned on me to show her photo. There are 2 of hers.

Now I'll attach my pics. In pic #1 I show how I laid out my blocks of the flower even before I added the star points. This was so I could see the colors I was using and what I needed to add next color-wise. I work as I go and it's easy to see the colors you need next. However, you might want to do it differently. Just don't try moving unsewn sections around on the wall as it'll get confusing. Believe me, I tried that! Good luck with your quilt!

p.s. I just thought of one more thing! On the 4P's, I made sure the darkest square was faced inward toward the flower on each corner!
