I was NOT supposed to be doing anything today but putting a binding on my neices crib quilt.... well...that is still collecting dust in the corner because my MIL sent this material and I knew right away what I wanted to do with it... mind you this is just cut out and up on my design wall right now but will probably start stitching it tomorrow! LOL

That is really lovely! Can you post a picture of some of the fabric that isn't cut up? I would love to see how you created that. Barb C

Well, stuck a piece of it on the wall next to it so you could see....I cut it in 2 1/2 inch strips and then 2 1/2 inch squares and then I filtered thru them and picked out what worked where! LOL Hope this is what you wanted to see and know about!

I think it is great....hurry up and piece it together...for us and for your nieces sake! :wink:

Thanks for both pictures. I had never seen the fabric in such a project before it was cut. That gives me some idea of what to look for. Thanks!
Can't wait till you get done! Really pretty.

Very sweet, Blue and white always reminds me of old china. I have that pattern book, too, and never came across any fabric that would work. You chose a winner!

Thanks so much for posting the fabric... that really helps me see how you created the heart. I love it! Would have never thought to do that! Barb C.

Very pretty......can't wait to see it finished. Thanks for sharing.

Very very wonderful.

Question...........Did you use a white fabric also and what is the size on this?.......I have some pink I could use. :D

Yes, the plain white squares are also 2 1/2 inch squares... when I did this before I considered not cutting the white but thought it would look more uniform if I did and then just sew it back together...I'm sure it could be done either way tho.

Oh Patsy, what a wonderful quilt that will be. I am glad you showed it all as I have never done or seen that before. I'll take it when done :lol: :mrgreen:

I have never seen that done before. It is sooo clever! Puts a whole new spin on looking at my stash for future projects.

I could even make a chili pepper wreath with the fabric I don't know what do with!

The chile pepper wreath would be great, as I love peppers, material, hanging, etc.

Beautiful and very inspirational!!!

did you fussy cut all of those squares or just strip cut and the place as needed , light or darK? Quilter 1234

I love that!! How big are your squares?

I just strip cut the material in 2 1/2 inch strips, then into 2 1/2 inch squares and placed them where I thought they looked good. If I thought an area needed something in particular then I did fussy cut a few squares if I couldn't find one already cut but for the most part I didn't need to do that.

Thanks for the nice compliments!

I love the fabric you used, it works perfect!!

That will be a beauty when it is all together. Can't wait to see it. Kyia

Patsy,
I would love to see a pic of the finished project. I've never done a watercolor, but I often think about trying one.

I thought I posted it when I got it done but maybe I didn't....here it is..

Thanks for all the nice compliments. :D

That is so pretty Patsy...Well done!

Karen

Wow - that's magic. I'm impressed. Thanx for sharing it. Sara

Feathers

WOW! I hadn't seen that one! Yes, hurry up and quilt it. Then send it to me! :D

Patsy,
Just found the picture of your quilt and absolutely love it! Could you please tell me how much fabric of that blue you used? Also, is your finished size 26x26? Your squares would be 2x2 when finished, right? Did you end up putting a border on? Thanks for your help.
Sue

Wow, what a neat idea. I love the print, too. Blue and white always looks good.

Really pretty !

VERY PRETTY, can't wait to see the finished quilt.

Okay... I figured out the yardage. Don't know why I didn't do that in the first place... :oops:
Absolutely stunning! :thumbup:

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

very nice wall hanging

Such a versatile fabric! I want some too!

I know you finished it in 2007, but I just found your post and am new and well...this is just gorgeous and a great job of piecing on your part! wow!
