As promised I'm back with my new quilt to start the year. Occasionally scrap baskets can really surprise you, I made this quilt entirely from my stash including the setting triangles and borders. I'm hoping this will happen a little more often to clear out some space in my tiny little sewing room. This is from the book
Scrap-Basket Surprises and the pattern is called "Kitchen Sink", all the pieces are the same size for the center. My hubby called these chubby little pinwheels...isn't that cute. It's a great book, I love how this quilt turned out.
Happy Quilting.
What a nice surprise - it really came out great.
ReplyDeletelove it! the colors, the blocks; just too cute!!

ReplyDeleteAwesome, Wendy! I have all the pieces/parts sitting to the left of my sewing machine but it waits. LOL I love that you used your stash; I've been trying to do more of that for quite awhile.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I have to try and do that more. Though I know I'll have to buy backrgounds as I don't have that many large pieces (+ 1 yard)

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! I just love the colors - I will have to go look for that book - heaven knows I need to clear out some of my scraps. A quick question - can you tell me who designed the pattern for your Merry Christmas stitchery pillow? I just love it and would love to make one as well. Thanks for sharing your great projects.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is wonderful! I may have to check out that book!

What an interesting block. I studied it and looks like it would be easy enough to make. It looks really good in all the scrappy fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI love that Wendy. Very cute. Love the colors too. Those chubby little blocks. lol
ReplyDeleteIt just couldn't be any cuter Wendy!! Great quilt.
ReplyDeleteI just love the quilt. What a bonus to use up some of your stash and not having to buy anything new. I was looking at the snow on your previous post - I live in Australia and we are having 40oC summer heat this week - one extreme to the other! Sue-Anne

This is lovely and a bonus .... well done!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great scrapbasket indeed! This is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt, and great use of your stash!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. Doesn't it make it even more special since you made it entirely from the stash? I've had my eye on that book for a while too. I even had it in my hand my last trip to the quilt shop. I restrained myself then, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to much longer.
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! I've been wanting to get that book, now I really want to get it!!!! I had to look closely to see those blocks. I love how they are made!
ReplyDeleteOoough, I just love this scrappy quilt! ....from the book Scrap-Basket Surprises you say?? Thanks, I'm now going to be on the lookout to FIND that book! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat colors you used in the setting triangles and borders too - so pretty!
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
It's a great quilt! Love how your husband even knows what a pinwheel is :-)
