Scrappy Auction Quilt finally finished
 
3 Attachment(s)
I posted this when pieced before quilting. I finally finished hand quilting it and put the binding on this week. I quilted a flower pattern in the sets of squares, outlined the pinwheels and points, straight rows in the border. It took me about 3 months of quilting an average of 3 to 4 hours an evening. Good use of this nasty winter. It is made almost entirely from my stash, purchased a very few fat quarters for the border strips and points. All done in jewel tones, really loud and bright! The pattern was from a June 2005 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting. Looks to be set on point, really isn't. Love this quilt (have become attached to it). It will be auctioned this summer at my grandkids goat club auction, to help with fund raising for scholarships.

Gorgeous! Patches & Pinwheels is one of my favorite patterns!

I love Patches and Pinwheels! It makes for the perfect scrap quilt. I've made about a half dozen of these over the years. Never hand quilted one though. Yours is beautiful!

The blocks are 6inch squares. I forgot to say I added blocks to make it a queen size.

What a prize to auction. Very generous if you! It should bring lots.

That is really pretty. Lots of rich colors that complement each other. Even though there are a lot of pieces, it doesn't look "busy". Beautiful job!

A very beautiful quilt. I can't imagine hand quilting a quilt for an auction. I hope it raises lots of money and I hope the winner knows what a treasure he or she is getting. Great job!

Yooper32 03-30-2014 05:51 AM

That is a beautiful quilt and should bring in a "pretty penny" and then some.

Bonbonary 03-30-2014 07:03 AM

I love scrappies and just finished the same quilt! It's a great way to use up a lot of small scraps since I just can't make myself throw out any fabric. Wish I had your patience to hand quilt. You did a beautiful job.

Mariposa 03-30-2014 07:07 AM

Lovely quilt!! Hope it brings in lots of $$! Great pattern too.... it is also on www.quiltville.com in the free patterns section..........:)

shasta5718 03-30-2014 07:15 AM
