How long did this take. Great job.

Just an opinion -- Great quilt - lots going on. I have learned if I want to show off special quilting, I have to leave space or more open areas for my long arm quilter to work. If this were mine, I might try some crosshatching Whatever you decide, I think it will be wornderful.

I have the magazine with this quilt. It is one I want to make also. Your's is very nice. Good job

Beautiful quilt.

The cutting of the strips probably took the longest, but over all,
it didn't take that long...I really enjoyed doing it. I called it my aerobic quilt because there was a lot of up and down of sewing, then cutting off pieces and sewing on a shorter strip, cutting, sewing, etc.

I always feel so wonderfully frugal when I go into my scrap boxes and make use of those scraps I cannot bring myself to toss. Don't know why, but my favorites always seem to be scrappy.

I just wanted to say how beautiful you quilt is and that the colors are fantastic!

Beautiful quilt. Looks sooo time consuming to a non-quilter. Perfect pattern for a scrap quilt.
Happy quilting and Good luck, Kutnso

Oh wow it is gorgeous!

What about varigated thread and doing like a floral or feathers in the color squares part--but not tight quilt, keep it loose. I don't know about the rest but I can see that in the squares.

very nice job. i think curves on straight lines and vice verse are always the most interesting. you have straight lines.

having said that and knowing you're a starter, why not mark out circles on the blocks with a washable or disappearing pen using a dish for the template? that will give you some practice on round shapes. on the sashing you might choose a simple curved line, the kind that you'd use for a vine, but without the leaves, again a practice curve. if you haven't chosen a backing yet, choose a print so that you don't feel you have to be perfect, and i used variegated thread for my first few quilts.

because the colors are so rich, whatever you do, it will be a beauty.

What a pretty scrap quilt! I love the cheery colors, and the brown ties it all together. I would definitely SID to stabilize the quilt, then maybe feathers in the sashing, big flowers in the blocks?
