It's a finish!
Sprouts
64 x 72
This was a Rainbow Scrap Challenge project started way back in March of 2016. I finished the flimsy in February of this year.
I quilted it on my DSM. First I did straight line stitching in green down the length of all the stems. Then I switched to a neutral thread and free motion quilted flowers and leaves in the background. I left the sprout leaves without quilting so they stand out from the background somewhat.
The binding is also scrappy.
Lots of scraps were used in this one!
I thought the backing fabric looked like a garden of pink sprouts.
From far away you can see the impression of sprouts in the backing.
This is now in the stack of hugs to be given as needed.

Beautiful! I really think I need to start making a spouts quilt.
love this quilt
your colors are fun and the quilt is great
I love your Sprouts Quilt. Great idea not to stipple quilt in the actual sprouts - they do stand out nicely.
Oh look! (I said when I saw the thumbnail photo for your post!) Your sprouts turned out great! I really like the layout you used with the columns of sprouts offset from each other. Beautiful finish, Cathy!
This turned out so great!! And I bet the Deer won't eat it ( ha ha)
I love it!
And it's a garden that the deer won't eat!
Beautiful. Love how it looks from the back too with the leaves unquilted.
All your scrap ideas are great, but this one really stands out. beautiful!
Well done! I too like the setting of yours! I like how you did the rainbow colors , different ones on the same stem but sort of in order. ROYGBIV. You are encouraging me to work on mine again!
That turned out SEW amazing, Cathy! Congrats on your latest finish for the RSC.
Oh it's such a beautiful cheerful and strong finish! Congratulations.
I love that you did rainbow order on this one! Great finish, ready for cuddling :)
Love it! You did a great job as always! Have you ever shown all of your fabrics and UFOs before? I am curious to know just how much you have! LOL
Love your sprouts quilt, makes me want to make one. I'm looking for a design for the RSC blocks for next year this could be a good contender.
Gorgeous! Congrats! ;^)
Congratulations on this beautiful finish! I love your bright and pretty quilt!
Congratulations on your most recent hug in the pile! Sprouts is such a cheerful quilt and you used some fabulous fabrics in it. Great job on the quilting!
Pretty! Great scrappy block, and that backing fabric is the perfect choice!
So pretty!!
What a nice quilt for The Jolly Green Giants kid or was it nephew, Little sprout.
This is a really cute design!
Oh, Cathy — of all the many versions of sprouts that I have seen online, yours is the one I love the most! So deliciously scrappy - the background and the colors. Well done!!!!!
Just to let you know, I've started this quilt today! Two blocks pieced ? more to go. Your quilt is beautiful! Happy stitching!
That turned out to be a beautiful quilt! Lots of work on it no doubt! ---"Love"
I recognize the sprouts from Block Lotto. Those block patterns continue to come in handy! It's a cheerful quilt.
