I finally got all my parts sewn together. Not completely finished but it is a top that can go in the waiting to be quilted area of the quilting closet. I really am glad I took the time to cut all those small pieces of scraps into 1.5 inch squares and love that I found a use for the navy vintage background fabric that came from my mom's stash. I usually name my quilts and this one hasn't been easy to name. So I am settling for Scrappy Happy!
a nice finish isn't it!
ReplyDeleteGood to have another ready to quilt for sure! Those scraps look so much better in a quilt than in a plastic tub!
DeleteI love this! Maybe this is what I will do with my leader/ender squares. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSimple but effective! I love the vintage vibe!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty and what a wonderful use of small pieces of fabrics. Another one for the list.
Thanks! I have been cutting small scraps into squares for some time! So glad they finally found their way into a quilt.
DeleteYour choice of the blue fabric for the setting was a good choice.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Love it when a plan comes together.
DeleteI love it. It has such a vintage vibe. That blue fabric was a perfect addition. Are those white coneflowers? They look like my purple coneflowers but I've never seen white ones. I like how you have posed your quilt with the fence and flowers. Looking forward to your quilting on this later this year. It appears you will have quite a pile of flimsies that will need quilting. Not sure how you will be able to pick what will be first.
ReplyDeleteScrappy happy is AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your flimsy finish! :) Kathi
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathi! I am looking forward to hand quilting this one.
DeleteLovely! I can't wait to see how you decide to quilt it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb! It seems like forever since I have done any hand quilting.
DeleteWow it is just lovely! What a great use for that vintage navy blue! :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad I pulled it out of the closet before I went shopping and was so happy to have enough. I think I had about 6 inches to spare. I guess it was just meant to be!
DeleteScrappy Happy certainly lives up to its name! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy! I agree this one makes me happy just looking at it.!
DeleteA very nice finish! I love the simplicity--it will be a timeless classic!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I agree this one is very classic! Just love that every bit of it was from stash!
DeleteI love the zig zag setting you used for Scrappy Happy! It adds an extra design element and makes the pieced blocks the stars of the quilt!
ReplyDeleteI agree it really showcases the scrappy blocks!
DeleteThis is such a happy quilt! Love the choice of vintage background fabric. Looks great with the blocks and what a way to use up one's stash! You have done a marvelous and creative job with this. I adore scrappy quilts! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words. I love scrappy too!
DeleteLooking beautiful on the fence - and coordinating with the happy Spring flowers !
ReplyDeleteSo glad we finally had a sunny day to take a picture. I love taking pictures when my cone flowers are blooming.
