I love how this mini turned out, Dick 'n' all! I pulled a couple of big scraps that I had fallen out of love with for the back; and although at first I was just happy to use them up where they wouldn't be seen, I now actually love the madness of the combo...
I used Rita's templates to make the 42 x 5" finished blocks, so it measures up just over 35" x 30". I quilted each side of the block seams in Aurifil 2021 50wt. The binding is some cripsy cotton poplin I have had hanging about since I really didn't know what I was doing, and the batting was even made with two pieces fused together.
So I am really pleased to be linking this up with Sarah...
Whilst I was out in the garden looking a bit disturbed, I got some pics of a few more finishes, so don't be fooled into thinking we are having lovely weather at last, it was good for about 3 hours so I made sure I got my money's worth xxx
You rock the scrappy quilt - gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent use of scraps. I failed to use any scraps for the challenge in January. That said I did give some scraps away to various people. I don't think that counts though ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab, even with the eccentric back!
ReplyDeleteYesterday morning was dark, wet and blowing a hoolie here so you were lucky to get out. YOur economy block quilt is gorgeous - funky and fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, and I can hardly see your dick.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finish! Nice and thrifty too!
ReplyDeleteThat's proper economy, using your scraps for them!! It looks lovely!

Fabulous finish! Lovely blocks and so cheery!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely, and isn't sewing the last stitch on the binding the best bit ever? Is this going on the wall of your sewing room?
