Scrappys are my favorite. Was the Baptist fan hard to do?

Like this quilt! I think you will probably like it once it is bound.

Not everyone likes the really scrappy look. I love it. Last year I made one with scrap strips, six inches by whatever. I sewed strips together until they were six inches wide, so I had six inch squares made of three or more strips, any size. I put these together rail fence style on the bias. (I didn't even realize it was rail fence until someone else pointed it out.)
The edges were white triangles to finish each row, then piano key border in six inch strips by whatever width I had. If it was more than three inches, I cut it in half.
I had it hanging in our quilt show, and this is the one the newspaper photographer chose to print in our local paper.
The caption read: Admiring a colorful quilt.

Wow, I really like that. I'd like to do the same thing with flannel, just need to buy more fabric or cut up some of hubby's shirts. Wonder if he'll notice. hmmmmm~~

Great use of scraps ..these scrappys become the study of the future on fabrics...love the
traditional baptist fan. Keep up the great quilting

I love your quilting did you do that on your domestic sewing machine?

I love scrap quilts. Your quilting with the Baptist Fans really make your scrap quilt special.

I make lots of scrap quilts, they are easier for me than planned quilts with just a few colors/fabrics.
I like your quilt, the quilting is lovely too! Well done!

great scrappy and beautifully done. I really like the fan design of the quilting. Simple but beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.

I have to make one of these. It's very original, artistic, yet a little traditional with the quilting. Really nice!

debcavan 12-20-2012 08:13 PM

it is amazing how when you get many many different colors together they look so marvelous. The Baptist Fan is beautiful

I "like it" a lot! I really like your quilting too! Great job!

Lilrain 12-24-2012 08:29 PM

I like it and you used basically "free" fabrics. Nice job

Barb_MO 12-25-2012 07:29 PM

I did one like that one time. Got all the pblock pieced and decided I didn't like it so I cut all the blocks up in different shapes and poeced back together. Turned out like a crazy quilt, and I liked it that way. A little extra work but at least I got one I really liked.

himnherr 12-29-2012 05:50 PM

Oooh! I do love scrappy's and yours is really pretty.
