I just finished this traditional quilt.

I just put the binding on this quilt called "Wrench" from Judy Hopkins' The Big Book of Patchwork. It was made with 52 different fabrics. Everything was from my stash except the backing and the navy sashing/binding. I had so much fun finding just the right fabrics. I have to admit that that's my favorite part of quilting. The quilting panto is Anne Bright's Spilt Paint again. I love that pattern, and so does my longarm. It seems to like gentle curves better that points and angles.

Pretty quilt for sure. I may have to add it to my bucket list, but change it to have more blocks and a smaller border. as I have a lot of fabric I could use up that way. Thanks for posting!

What a pretty quilt! And you used up stash too. Doesn't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy to use up stash? It does for me.

What a beautiful finished quilt. Your color selection was perfect and the quilting put it over the top.

I love the process of digging through my stash and finding fabrics that play well together, too, and you've done such a lovely job on this quilt. All of your fabrics coordinate so nicely and the navy sashing with red cornerstones just ties everything together perfectly. I love it!
