Squares, rectangles, triangles.... It's such a scrappy thing with prints, plaids, plains, in greens, reds, blues, and browns, all together in the same quilt. I love scrappy quilts for babies. (Well, let's just be honest: I love scrappy quilts period.)
All that sewing and finally, blocks are becoming rows.
I hope to have a finished top by the end of the week.

Hi Nancy! This looks beautiful! I love scrappy quilts with mixed colours and prints. x Teje
ReplyDeleteThanks, Teje.
DeleteLove how it is coming together, Nancy. I love scrappy quilts, too, and I think they are a fun look for baby quilts. Kind of unexpected, which I like. : )
ReplyDeleteThank you, Janet. I'm more inclined to go very scrappy and colorful on baby quilts, less so on quilts for beds, napping, or adults in general.
DeleteScrappy quilts are the best and yours is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Deb.
DeleteIt looks as if you are making wonderful progress =)
ReplyDeleteYes, Puppilalla, and I'm pleased that it's gone together so quickly. (Today it's finished!)
DeleteLove the scrappy look of your baby quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vic.
DeleteWow, what a fun, scrappy quilt top. It looks like you're able to use up a lot of leftovers. Always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gypsy Quilter. It was great to use leftovers but imagine how many I could have used for a big top! Maybe I'll have to make another one....
DeleteI love your scrappy quilts!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam. It seems like I haven't yet narrowed down my "style" of quilting so I'm all over the place. I think the bright, scrappy ones are fun to make but they are not my favorite to use at home.
DeleteI'm with you. I so love making scrappy quilts!
ReplyDeleteFor me, people clean out their sewing rooms and keep me well stocked with scraps. Working hard now to actually start doing more with them. That's why last week I was just busy with cutting only.
I would love to have people give me scraps (though I don't really need any). I think it would be fun to have a different variety of scraps. Good for you to cut and organize yours.
DeleteWow, it's coming together ... gorgeous! I hope to do some shopping ... and then I'll get to work on the cutting and sewing. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy. You must not be one of those people who needs a rest after a vacation? I usually do. Have fun shopping.
DeleteI made a quilt using this same design. Always liked it.
ReplyDeleteThose stars have a really strong presence, don't they, Karen? Did you post a photo of your quilt? I'd love to see it.
DeleteBeautiful, I made this pattern using Christmas prints back in the 1990's and its still our family favorite!
ReplyDeleteIt would be beautiful in Christmas fabric, Caroline. I can imagine why it is still a favorite!
DeleteBeautiful quilt! Love all those plaids and the slightly irregular stars. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, LeeAnn.
