It's a finish!
63 x 80
It was inspired by a quilt at Blue Elephant Stitches.
Over a period of more than a year I cut scraps into 2.5 x 3.5 pieces for this quilt. I tried not to repeat fabrics but that's not to say that I haven't.
Light, medium and dark. Sometimes it is difficult to decide the value of some fabrics.
I've found this type of quilt with lots of fun fabrics to be a hit with hospital and hospice patients.
No matter the age patients and visitors seem to like to play I Spy and sometimes smile or laugh at what they find.
I quilted it on my DSM with vertical and horizontal lines in gray thread. The binding is scrappy.
The backing was a gift from a kind soul.
And sew on...
pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow many times did I look at it before I saw the geese? LOL
ReplyDeleteFantastic finish!
Love it. So many stories those scraps can tell together with the gifted backing. Makes it special!
ReplyDeleteLook at that! So gorgeous! Perfect example of how scraps make a beautiful quilt. I love that one, Cathy!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your fun quilt finish, Cathy!! Blue Elephant Stitches always inspires me, too. Besides the fabulous collection of scraps, the unexpected addition of those Flying Geese is my favorite part of this quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! I love the inspiration quilt from Blue Elephant Stitches but I love your super scrappy version even more. I believe you that hospital/hospice patients find so much to look at/talk about with this kind of quilt. WELL DONE!

ReplyDeleteWith careful value placement, even the simplest blocks can be stunning. Such a wonderful effect.

ReplyDeleteThat's a fun quilt! I guess instead of a postage stamp quilt it's a return address label quilt? Since the pieces are rectangles? Oooh, that was bad. Never-mind. lol
