I like your quilt. Love the idea of the rectangles. Your quilting is gorgeous. Nice work.

Glad you like the quilt--I wish I could take responsibility for the quilt pattern but I can't. It comes from a book by Judy Turner and Margaret Rolfe, "Successful scrap quilts", and it is called 1-2-3 What can you see? The only change I made is that they use 2 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch rectangles which they combine together to make the larger rectangle unit, whereas I only had 1 1/2 inch strips so had to use 1 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch rectangles to combine to make the larger unit.

Either way, it is a great quilt to make and use up scraps. Happy quilting! :D

Great quilt! I love the color combination, and the ribbon quilting too.

I, too, love this quilt and I can see where many of my scraps will be going. :-)

love it!! Losie - that windmill pic in the lower right corner of your DGS's quilt is from Kinderdijk??

Here is my UFO for October. It is called "Salt water taffy" by Margaret E. J. LaBenne, and I have wanted to make it for about a year now. I really like it and will probably make many more times, especially since it is very easy. It is a great quilt to make for charity! Here is the link if anyone is interested:

Happy quilting! Iris :-D

This is the front of the quilt.

And here is the back. As you can see, I had some leftover blocks and not enough of either fabric, so this is the result.

Yea, I will do this. At the end I will tell you how long this project I'm thinking of has been sitting around as a UFO. Thank you for moving my tail
