Last finish of 2023

This quilt came about as I was determined to make a "scrappy" quilt. My quilt friend follows someone on facebook who has a mystery "quiltober" offering. It was a scrappy project and I decided I would participate. Well, I had some scraps, but since I use my stash I usually don't have quite enough. In this case I was going to use some aboriginal fabric leftovers so I pulled my scraps and bought a few fat quarters to round things out. Then I was putting fabric away from a wall hanging project I had just completed and realized I should have use those scraps for the Quiltober...Duh! Anyway, that's when I decided that said scraps would work for this pattern that I found on allpeoplequilt.com called "Vivid Grids".
https://www.allpeoplequilt.com/quilt...ows/vivid-grid While the colors I chose are not Vivid...I would call it more of a low volume look, I am happy with how the quilt turned out and did use most of those brown/rust/burgundy colored scraps as well as many gold-ish colored fabrics for the background. Went with simple flower stencil and ditch quilting. The pattern used 2.5 inch squares, but I like smaller blocks so I made mine with 2 inch squares. |
I prefer your color choices to the original pattern. Beautiful quilt.

Nice! I love your colors (always been a red girl) and the quilting is perfect!
|
And What a lovely finish it is! Great color combo.

Beautiful quilt!
You had me with the colour choices as they are my favourites. Great vision, to switch up the colour/fabric choices for a fabulous finish. Seeing the glamour shot of the pattern, I would have been turned right off and not likely given it a 2nd chance. Good for you, for what you did!! |
It's beautiful! Very nice job.
