Remember when Postal Packin Mama posted this quilt earlier this summer? Well, I was so inspired that I just had to make one of my own. I never dreamed that it would use up so many scraps, but my scrap drawers are now empty and I am one happy camper! It's big 120" by 120" and heavy, which will be wonderful come winter time. It's pieced with a QAYG method. Thanks Postal Packin Mama for your inspiration and your words of wisdom as I worked on my own!

SERIOUSLY??? I'm floored!!! Absolutely amazing!!

Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL! If I send you all my scraps will you make one for me, then my scrap pile will be gone too ... lol

Scrap quilts are my favorites to make, but I am not sure I would ever tackle one like yours - I am intimidated by its beauty!

I second those emotions! This is just gorgeous... both sides of it! Great job!

Diane on Summit 08-29-2012 10:53 PM

Holy Moly! Both sides are terrific!

earthwalker 08-29-2012 10:59 PM

A beauty indeed.....Thanks so much for sharing it with us....very impressive. Now you've inspired me to get off this computer and get on with the scrappy strippy I am making for my future DIL....I am a bit ashamed mine's not going to be a double sided stunner and I am taking forever over it (I mean really what can't I get about randomly sewing strips onto foundations!!).

The reversible scrappy is fantastic. I wish I had so few scraps.

dove 08-30-2012 03:04 AM

wow!!...it's fantastic...how wonderful to make such a magnificent quilt from scraps :-)!

Oh, Joan, that is one stunning quilt! YOur sashings are so straight and perfect, I am in awe.

Spectacular, Fabulous, Stunning as a newbie quilter it is sometimes humbling to see such wonderful creativeness and talent on this board. But it also gives me something to aspire to, thank you for posting.

bibi 08-30-2012 06:09 AM

This is absolutely gorgeous. Wow!

such a sew and sew 08-30-2012 06:54 AM

I love both designs. I think scrap quilts have so much interest. Great Job.

laynak 08-30-2012 06:55 AM

Your quilt is so pretty! What a wonderful way to use scraps. Needs to go on my to-do list too!

WisWis 08-30-2012 10:37 AM

Friday1961 08-30-2012 03:24 PM

Beautiful! Love both sides but especially the front (or the first photo); all those great colors on white! That's my aesthetic!

Suzanne Damien 08-30-2012 03:47 PM

Really nice work!!!!:)

1screech 08-30-2012 05:03 PM

That is one of the prettiest quilts I have seen. It makes me want to do one. I love both sides.

lynnie 08-30-2012 05:10 PM

Just love them

lfstamper 08-30-2012 05:25 PM

These are all so beautiful!

jeanharville 08-30-2012 06:17 PM

Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. I read all the posts and I don't think anyone asked you how long it took you to make it. Inquiring minds want to know, LOL. You had a lot of beautiful, coordinating scraps and then were able to piece and QAYG. You're amazing.

nstitches4u 08-30-2012 06:41 PM

Your quilt is gorgeous! I need to use up some of my scraps. They just keep growing. lol Seeing your beautiful quilt inspires me to try one. Thanks for sharing.

som 08-30-2012 08:18 PM

i love it,and i love the colors

essaytx 08-31-2012 11:59 AM

Really nice! I am about to start a lap quilt that I want to be reversible. Yours is an inspiration.

Taughtby Grandma 09-11-2012 06:06 PM

What a great quilt, I like the scrappy carpenter's wheel. I like the contrast in the string side too.

tbex 09-11-2012 06:59 PM

Wow! I know how much effort you put in this. I just finished a top, baby size, with the star pattern. It equals about one of your blocks. It took me a few days. Of course I was working with gingham which is always a treat. NOT! Great job

Chris Anders 09-11-2012 07:04 PM

Very pretty! Great job !!
