Orphan QAYG King Sized Crumb Quilt
 

This quilt sat as an orphan in a box for 5 years. I cut it into a thousand pieces to make a winding ways quilt, but two things were wrong. One, the pattern was too small and hard to sew the tiny curves, and two, the fabric was part of a collection that had no contrast and you could not see the "wheels". I was so disappointed. So I added some contrasting fabrics and made this crumb quilt and added this twisted snowball block. It measures over 120" x 120", quilted in strips on my Sashiko machine, and I then pieced the 6 strips together. It is kind of busy with 4.5" blocks, but better than sitting in a box unloved. My daughter claimed it for her bed. Hope you like it. I'm just glad to get it done, and have a nice home.

Super. BrendaK

Glad it out of the box too. What a lovely quilt.

A beauty!!

I'd claim it too, if it was offered! Such a nice one. I love the combination of what looks like crazy quilt squares with the snowball block. What a great finish.

I love the twisted snowball block. Did you quilt in rows and then add the backing last? Lucky daughter to have your lovely quilt.

I love the scrappy look of the quilt. Nice Job

nicely done... interesting that you quilted it on a sashiko machine

Great save. I like the scrappiness of your quilt. I am glad it is finished and claimed by someone who will love it. Better than being left in a box.

I really like the interaction between the crazy quilt squares and the snowball blocks. Very nice! I'd claim it too.
