Plum Ugly Quilt needs to be renamed!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Here is the quilt top finished. Posted it several days ago under title of Plum Ugly Quilt (or something like that). i received several suggestions on finishing it up and making it larger.

I decided to add another row of blocks and put in a plum (purple) 1" border. Then I remembered that I had 200 or more crazy crumb 3 1/2" blocks put away so I pulled those out for the outside border. I ended up taking a 1/2" seam to join the crumb blocks so they would fit better. Still not perfect on the corner but I can live with that. I will use the same purple fabric for the binding. I love how it turned out. Decided the name maybe should be "Riot in the Stash Bin" or something along that line. One reason...there is a riot of strings on the back that need trimming! UGH!!

I like your scrap quilt. It has many elements of interest. Please don't call it Plum Ugly-it isn't. I like the idea of Riot in the Stash.

Very pretty and the name fits!

Jane Quilter 10-01-2016 08:17 AM

I never thought it was ugly, just need to be bigger. And you did a fantastic job. It is a beauty.

Tartan 10-01-2016 08:21 AM

Well done! What a joyful riot of colour!

Altairss 10-01-2016 08:38 AM

Wow it turned out great and it really pulled its self together and I like the riot name better.

Kitsie 10-01-2016 08:38 AM

I like it! Lively and cheerful. Nice save!

I love it! I like the name "Pixi Sticks"
That's what I thought of when I saw all those colors! It's a beauty!

That border really sets it off, and no, it isn't ugly, and the new name is terrific!

Daylesewblessed 10-01-2016 10:32 AM

How about Plum Checkered Out. It looks great!

AUQuilter 10-01-2016 10:39 AM

Certainly not Plum Ugly! Whatever you name it, it is a beautiful scrappy quilt.

PaperPrincess 10-01-2016 10:39 AM

That is one happy quilt!!!

fatquarters 10-01-2016 12:55 PM

Nice quilt...too quickly my brain named your quilt....plum crumb cake!

quiltsRfun 10-01-2016 01:29 PM

Nice work! Just goes to show we should never give up on a quilt. I like its new name.

red-warrior 10-01-2016 02:21 PM

Bright and beautiful !

Jordan 10-01-2016 02:25 PM

I like your scrappy. Good idea to re-name from "plum ugly" as your quilt is really pretty. How about naming it "searching my stash"?

joyful1 10-01-2016 02:26 PM

Wow, I really, really like this scrappy quilt!

QuiltnNan 10-01-2016 02:32 PM

nicely done

117becca 10-01-2016 03:25 PM

That is absolutely beautiful!!!!! Congrats!!!

redquilter 10-01-2016 04:23 PM

A great quilt. The border really sets the whole thing off.

auntdeb 10-01-2016 05:03 PM

I LOVE that quilt - the sashing of smaller squares, the purple border and the crazy edge. It looks like a quilt to be used and that's my favorite kind. It's beautiful. I like Riot in the Stash too.

I couldn't agree more! The scrappy colorful crumbs, offset by the solid plum just ties the whole quilt together. Very brave and effective scrap quilt, can't wait to see it all quilted, make sure you post again when it is done.

striking quilt. Kudos to you for using up your left overs. Good job, persistence pays off.

nativetexan 10-01-2016 05:26 PM

how about plum delicious!!!?

Jan in VA 10-01-2016 06:13 PM

That's not ugly at all! Very jazzy, happy and interesting, good work!

earthwalker 10-01-2016 06:46 PM

Stash Riot, sprung to mind. This is a gorgeous quilt and quilting will bring it to life, especially if it is slightly more densely quilted in the large blocks. This is the kind of quilt that makes you happy when you look at it, which we all could do with.

Lilrain 10-01-2016 08:16 PM

Very nice, certainly not ugly!

zzmom 10-01-2016 10:00 PM

Not ugly at all- great looking scrappy quilt. I especially like how each block is framed with the smaller squares.

smagruder 10-02-2016 03:18 AM

JanieH 10-02-2016 04:36 AM

Love your quilt and the new name!

lfletcher 10-02-2016 06:15 AM

I really like your quilt. I do seem to be partial to scrappy quilts although I don't make that many.

Wanabee Quiltin 10-02-2016 06:16 AM

Your quilt is colorful and I really like it. Not ugly at all.

QUILTNMO 10-02-2016 06:43 AM

i dont see ugly its s agreat scrappy

Friday1961 10-02-2016 07:33 AM

Love this quilt! And I REALLY love the crazy pieced border! It is the perfect finish for what is already a busy quilt, but somehow not too busy!

Plum ugly is certainly not a fitting name. But you might consider ADHD! Just kidding! But it reminds me of how my ADHD son says his mind works!

Seriously, I love how you finished this.

pal 10-02-2016 07:58 AM

Gorgeous quilt!!!!!!!

carolynjo 10-02-2016 01:50 PM

Auntevie 10-02-2016 04:22 PM
