- - The first quilt I ever made completely from my stash (https://www.quiltingboard.com/pictures-f5/first-quilt-i-ever-made-completely-my-stash-t16874.html)

The kittie blocks and the red/yellow triangle strips at the top and bottom were left over from previous projects. Then last year I went to the North Carolina Quilt Symposium and took a class with Judi Gunter called "circle gets the square". These squares are not from that class since I didn't like the ones I made in class and gave them to Judi to show her future students what NOT to do :lol: So I made new ones at home but only from my stash. The multi-color stripe has been in my stash for years and I finally used the last of it. I still have enough of the fabric that I used on the balls to piece a backing for this. And I'm determined to find something in my stash that I can use for the binding. I think I can even find a piece of leftover batting big enough to use with this. So this will be the first time in my 20 years of quilting that I will have made a quilt from start to finish without buying anything new. :P :P I call it "Time-Out Kitties" because when I showed this on another forum, one of the ladies said the kitties wanted to get out of their cages and play with the balls.

That is so cute. Good job.

What a happy quilt! You did a really good job!

Very cute! Love the colorful balls!

Thanks mpspeedy, pal, and Chele. I'm rather pleased with the quilt...but not the name. Kids don't like getting a time-out so I'm very open to suggestions for something more positive.

When I think about how much it costs to make a quilt, this one really is a freebie. I'm going to have to start shopping from my stash more often :lol:

Congratulations. Now you can go shopping again.
:lol:

Great job! I shop from my stash all the time, but then again I am always buying fabrics to add to my stash.......Though I do love to pull out a pattern, then pull all fabs from my stash and just whip it up. I have a fairly substancial stash.

That is so cute!! And I love the kitties!!

I just love your quilt!! :D It is so cute & I am also glad that you were able to make it all from your stash. Aren't stash's wonderful? Thank you for sharing.
