scrappy half square triangle quilt
5 Attachment(s)
So good to be back to a little quilting again after so much going on for months with my husband's cancer and 5-bypass heart surgery. Amazing what quilting can do for one's attitude and emotions. I just finished this quilt after working on it for months (with quite a lot of interruptions. :) ) At a garage sale last year, I bought a Walmart bag of "cut" half square triangles for $1.....(like I needed more scraps, but can never resist a bargain). Put them together with several pieces of bright yellow I had on hand. I enjoyed making this one and the quilting was fun. Since this will probably be given to the women's crisis center, I decided I would really "Play" with some quilting techniques that I've been afraid to try on some other "designated gift" quilts I've made. Had so much fun with no stress and just letting go.... Used more scraps to make the backing as large as I needed. For some reason, I get an error when trying to download the backing. Sorry. Now, I would love for someone to tell me how to move this into the Scrappy Quilt Show that is on this board. I think it needs to be in that....since it's "scrappy." :)

Oh I just adore this..... very nice..... :-)

Great piecing and quilting. You are lucky that the HST's were cut so nicely. I was given some that weren't and it wasn't fun at all. You did a great job on this quilt.

Beautiful scrappy quilt and I think your quilting looks very good. I'm happy quilting helps you out so much!
|
Awesome quilt and quilting. Love the yellow with it. Thanks for sharing..Mary.

You did a fabulous job! Quilting always looks so good when it's FMQ. This will surely cheer up some poor soul in the shelter!!

Love it! Someone will really appreciate it at the crisis center. I imagine her snuggling under it and pondering the love that went into it.

Really great job!

Your quilt is beautiful and yes, it does belong in the Scrappy Quilt Show thread. Just go to the last entry in that thread and then instead of using the 'Post Quick Reply' button, press the 'Go Advanced' button, then post your reply with a photo.

That. Is a beautiful. Scrappy
|
Beautiful. I think someone from the board will move it there. One of mine is in the gallery and I did not do it.
|
Beautiful scrap quilt!!!

Hope your husband is doing much better. That is a pretty quilt and very pretty quilting. Some lucky person will be grateful.

I think your quilting is very good.

Terrific scrappy! Fun quilting too!

Wonderful job...I love the simple binding....What would our world be like without people like you who
volunteer their time and gifts???? Thank you! |
Beautiful scrappy with such a "happy" feel! This will make someone feel so special and loved. Great job!
|
The quilting is great and what a bargain on the triangles.
|
Wow! It is gorgeous… Love those scrappies (this is soooo funny: when I type scrappies, my computer wants to make it "scrap pies)"!!!!
|
Sewing is my therapy too. I lost my husband to cancer last year and I didn't get to sew
any. You made a beautiful quilt. |
