Anyway this is a bit of a recent repeat, but my scrap quilt with the purple border is my festival quilt.
I made this at the beginning of this year, after a long year of not quilting much at all. I blogged about it here. Right now it is lying across the bottom of my bed, on top of our aqua and white bedspread. I'm liking the lavender and aqua together. I really like the border, and I think it's kind of funny that I had so many different purples that are so similar.
I really like the back, too.
In other sewing news... I found out about the FabShop Hop last month and went crazy hunting for bunnies at a bunch of online quilt shops. The grand prizes in March were 50 yards of fabric, a new sewing machine, and a really cool storage caddy. I didn't win the grand prize but I got a happy surprise this week in my email--I won a $10 gift certificate to Hidden Country Quilts. They have lots of great quilter's quality kids' fabrics, and I decided to get some sock monkey fabrics for the big quilt I'm going to be making for Jacob later in the summer or fall months. I'm working on finding bunnies for the April hop too, maybe I'll win again!
this is such a cool quilt! It's amazing.
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot. I've been very inspired by all the white I've seen in quilts recently and am thinking of doing one for myself!
ReplyDeleteI like this quilt a lot. I often make scrap quilts.

ReplyDeleteVicki, that is absolutely beautiful! I love the different patterns and colors! In fact your whole blog is beautiful and inspiring! I am still learning and love how others projects spark my own creativity, thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's fascinating how the colors all worked together and I enjoyed reading about where all the pieces had come from.

Yeah we all make quilts the wrong sizes, but they end up fitting anyway.

ReplyDeleteThis quilt is awesome...much planning but so worth it. Thank you so much for sharing the history of the pieces used. It is gorgeous. I so enjoy your blog.

ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about making a purple quilt for my daughter, currently I have a purple carpenter's wheel in the words for a special needs kids camp and every time dd sees it she says "I love purple". LOL. It nice to see it put together this way.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to make a baby clothes quilt for your daughter you should dive right in, I'm sure it will be great. :D
Vicki, I popped by your blog yesterday and loved your scrappy quilt! I love anything scrappy and especially the 'making somethings out of nothings' part.
