These are a couple of pictures of a quilt top that is waiting for its back to arrive. It is a quilt as you go and the batting is already sewn in. I got the idea from this blog: http://www.stitchedincolor.com/2011/...als-list.html. The Blog is 'Stitched in Color'. The plain colors are Kona Cotton and I just love the bright colors. It is going to be an 'after-surgery' quilt for next week for myself (making one for myself has only happend once before!) And, its easy and quick to make!

There are actually 16 different color sections.

What a great quilt!

Here's the correct link to the blog (you had an extra . in the link):
http://www.stitchedincolor.com/2011/...ials-list.html

I've seen similar ones, but they all had a common background.
I love the rectangle! blocks on bold background colors.

I hope your surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

That is such a beautiful quilt and a great idea. It reminds me of mosaic tiles! So very pretty and a great way to use up scraps. Thanks for sharing.

That is really cool. It is like a collage but with fabric.

Beautiful! Best of luck with your surgery and recovery.

I used that pink heart fabric for my DGD's birthday dress this year.

That is beautiful. I'm glad you will have such a cheery quilt for your recovery (which I hope will be speedy). This looks like a fun project for dreary winter months so I think I might give it a try.

BEAUTIFUL - very cheerful!! :thumbup: :thumbup: Good luck with your surgery!

goldendog55 10-19-2011 03:54 PM

I guess I liked the quilt idea when I saw all of the white backgrounds with different colors on them. Its very concise and all of the different colors with the white pull all of the different scraps together. I had fun sitting on the floor with a colored sections and trying to figure out how they would all fit together on the white. Sort of like cutting pictures out of magazines when I was in school!

AnnieF 10-19-2011 03:57 PM

I did the same thing...made a quilt for myself before going into surgery. I made it out of flannel... With really bright colors. It was such a hit that my family has dubbed it the hospital quilt... And request it when they need to go to the hospital. It has really good vibes.

Jennifer22206 10-19-2011 04:09 PM

oh wow - that looks like such a fun quilt. I know I've got a ton of scraps that could work with one like that.. hmm :)

Best of luck with your surgery.

KimS 10-19-2011 04:14 PM

I really like this and have bookmarked it. Will add it to my "to do" list. :-)

I really like and want to make one but, I don't understand how this was done. Was it glued or sewed? I was trying to see the stitches.

Shelby 10-19-2011 06:09 PM

Great looking, so cheery! Best of luck with your surgery.

Agree! Wishing you a fast recovery from your surgery!

goldendog55 10-19-2011 06:56 PM

After you have sewed the colors, you sew it onto batting. Then, you cut some shapes out and lay them down like you want them. Then, I glued the pieces on, and you zigzap around the edge of each scrap of fabric.

aitcht 10-19-2011 07:07 PM

that is so cool! i've never seen anything like that before... i love it! I must try this myself.

trisha 10-19-2011 07:40 PM
