Remember last year when I said how much I liked Cheles' Arkansas Crossroads quilt? Well since then I've got all my scraps together and made my own! Thanks for the inspiration Chele!! lol!

Very Very Pretty......

Great use of scraps! Now, you'll need to fill the scrap basket back up again.

It came out beautifully! This is one of my favorite patterns! Good job!

It is beautiful.. I love the colors..

I keep thinking I should do one since I live in Arkansas :lol:

That is one fabulous quilt!! The colors are great!!! Most of my favorites are in there!

That looks WONDERFUL..


Don't cha just love Chele.. she has so much talent, she inspires us all.

Pretty! Pretty!! Pretty!!!

Wow!!! Most outstanding work :) Now I think we should all send you some of our scraps so you can do another fun project..... how big do you need? hahahahaha :)

Karenmay, I'm so proud to be an inspiration! Thank you.

What a lovely job you did with the pattern and your scraps! I think it's fun to "see" the other projects you've worked on in your scrap quilts. The lilac really adds a special touch!

Make more!

Very pretty! You done a nice job!

I love the way all your fabric majically goes together. Never in a million years would my scrap pile look so nice in a quilt.

Very pretty- i love the lavender

Really nice quilt. I like the use of scraps. How much of the base fabric did you need?

Very nice quilt!! Will the quilt go on your bed or is it for a gift? I've been saving my scrapes for along time mostly christmas prints which I think that pattern would do very well. Thanks for sharing.

Karen, your Arkansas Crossroads is gorgeous. I love it. Nice job.

That is fabulous!

Karen, Good to see your back sewing, how is the shoulder now?? You are not doing too much too soon now are you :roll: :D :D

Your quilt is simply gorgeous...well done, I love the soft colouring :D :D

How are you going to quilt it?

Very nice; good job.

Very pretty quilt, just love the flow of all the materials used.

Karenmay, you bring back memories, my grandmother made a quilt with the same colors, i can't remember the pattern but I remember snuggling under those colors. thanks

That is soooooooo pretty. Great job!

You did a great job-your quilt is beautiful! Are you collecting scraps for another quilt?

Very nice quilt!!

I have one that I am working on with the same patterns. I am laying it out differently then the one you show. I will have the blocks that you have, but alternated with zigzag rows. I got my pattern from Quiltmaker magazine S/O '99. It was called Happy to be Scrappy. Same blocks, just different layout.

I will post a picture once I get it together. I have the squaring off of the blocks to do before stitching them together. It takes time and energy to square off the 144 that I need and lately (I guess with the weather turning nice) I have spent most of my time outdoors. By the time I get inside.........I am too tired to do anything!!!

Yes Marcia...I'm always on the lookout for bits and pieces for quilting.....I'm getting quite well known in our charity shops, they know now what I'm after all these mens shirts for!!lol! (I think they thought I kept husbands in different sizes !)
Izy the shoulder is'nt too bad at the moment but my back is still quite painful right at the very bottom!! I go on my hols this Saturday so i'm looking forward to a mooch round a quilt shop or two (and more charity shops)
Oh by the way Izy, I've been asked to join a group of ladies who get together on a Monday afternoon to sew or knit or whatever they want to do ....so I think I might give it a try after my hols!

Karen

Ooops! Im forgetting my manners! thank you to all of you for all the lovely compliments!

xxxxxxx Karen

Is hols holidays?

Yes thats right Celeste...I go on holiday on Saturday for a week!

Karen

I really like the lavender crossroads and the scrappy look. You did a beautiful job on your quilt!

Have fun! Where are you going? Will you buy fabric? Will you take pictures? :P

Inquiring (not nosey!) want to know!


:lol:
