Nanabirdmo inspired me to make this quilt. Now I wish I could send my top to her to quilt since hers turned out so lovely! :roll:

I made this top and somewhat organized my scrap baskets at the same time. I'm down to one basket of scraps. The rest are cut into squares and strips and organized for the next scrap quilt! Now if I could just tackle that last basket!

Wow, I love that!!!! I'd love to try to do that. Is that an original pattern, and if so do you mind if I try it?

beautiful chele!

Chele 11-20-2008 01:40 PM

Thanks everyone! Good thing I don't wear hats! :oops:

The pattern is in a book titled "Relax and Quilt." It's an older book, but I found an inexpensive copy on eBay. It's a GREAT quilt book with some really neat scrap quilt patterns.

Great place to use scraps....wonderful!!

Bevanger 11-21-2008 06:39 AM

Oh goodness ..... another quilt to add to my WANNA DO list.... Its beautiful. I love it

beetle 11-21-2008 06:55 AM

I love the way that pattern turned out and what you did with it.

I found a tutorial on how to make a similar quilt. She calls it a String-x quilt and likes to make her strings "wonky". Of course, one wouldn't have to.

This is great! I don't have all the scraps yet (newbie here), but the rate I'm going I'll have enough for something like this real soon...LOL. I love the bright, cheery colors.

I just love the colors you use in all your quilts. This one is great. Wonderful job.

Have to tell you funny story. I loved your quilt so much, I went to ebay and bought the book last night. Today, I got a message from seller, it said, "Your bikini bottoms are being shipped today" I said HUH???? Then I saw another email in mail box from seller....she said OH SORRY Your book is being shipped today ignore other message. I wrote her back and said "ROFL that was best laugh of day. I am 65, slightly overweight and love that it is not only bikini,,,,but bikini BOTTOMS...where are tops" ?? She wrote back and said thanks for being understanding about mistake. Book being sent, and bikini bottoms were in SMALL and sent me a pic. They were sequined hot pink with little string ties....look like fat eighth in shape of triangle. Hmmm, maybe fat sixteenth rofl.

Chele 11-25-2008 12:06 PM

Funny story, Margie! I hope your bikini bottoms arrive in good order!

Missi 11-26-2008 06:17 AM

Margi the bikini bottoms will match the quilt. Maybe you could quilt it for Chele wearing only the bikini bottoms. :)

Chele - fantastic scrap quilt I love it.

babeegirl 11-26-2008 06:25 AM
