Stash Busting
 

These aren't "finished" but thought I'd post them here instead, as I probably won't get a chance to purchase backings for a while. These are two quilt tops I made using flannel fat quarter packs. I love to buy coordinating fat quarters but find it hard to find patterns that work with them. Love love love how both of these came out.
The rainbow one I had to squeeze the squares out of the fat quarters and had barely anything leftover, also borrowed the white flannel from another project I had set aside to make someday (it'll be the batting for a beach blanket) but I'm sure once I do that project the leftover white would have been added to the stash anyhow.
The dragonflies one I am in love with, I had received this fat quarter pack from my mom as a gift and didn't have any inspiration for it at all until now. I ended up swapping out one of the colours (a princess printed one went out and replaced with the dark pink one) I also used a 1/2 yard cut (the pink sashing and triangles) that I had kicking around (actually my only yardage of flannel and really have no clue what the motivation was for buying it...) I had a little bit of the dragonflies leftover but ended up fussy cutting the posts out of it, and had a little bit of the 1/2 yard of pink leftover, and 3 striped triangles leftover (I like it when I have a lot leftover, to make another top, or practically nothing leftover)

Both of the patterns call for borders, but they are already big enough for baby quilts so I may pass.... not sure yet

great job on both of them. I have a soft spot for dragonflies :) I have never made a quilt without a border, would you just put a skinny binding on it?

Very nice job on both!

I vote for at least a thin border, like a picture frame. My opinion is it gives them more of a finished look.

Wow, you have been a busy bee. They look great and nice colors.

they are very nice!!!!

Like them both, especially the 1st one...isn't it fun to get something nice from the scrap bin?!

nicely done... i'd just do a thin border to make the sashing look complete

Great job on both. Got to love it when you can create something pretty with leftovers. :thumbup:

Both off them are very pretty.
