Jack and Jill
72 x 84
It's a finish!
I think I cleaned out my 2.5 inch width scrap bin AND I wiped out most of the 2.5 inch squares I had in the squares box last year when I made the top. That's a good thing!
I also used up a bunch of different dark blue scraps. That's another good thing!
This is my favorite type of quilt - scrappy and with lots of fun things in those scraps.
I quilted it on my DSM with a bright blue thread. I was not really sure what color to use. I never am. Since I had plenty of bright blue thread on hand that's what I used. I had a bright blue fabric to use for the binding. I thought I had enough but was about six inches short so found a similar blue scrap to fill in.
The backing is a light blue with little rabbits on it. I've had that fabric around for a long time and thought there was only a couple of yards of it for a small quilt backing. Imagine my surprise when I found it was 2.5 yards of 108 inch wide fabric!
And sew it goes...
I just read about Linda's Granny squares and now see yours. Changed her white backgrounds for your blues. And a few other changes. But neat to see different ways to handle lots of squares.
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty...love colorful scrappy quilts!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing!! Thanks for the link--[I may try to use up the rest of my jelly rolls and mini charms for one of these...] I am determined to use them all up this year!!
ReplyDeleteI just finished my 20th block for Many Trips and have SO MANY jellies left!!
Well onward right? Beautiful work Hugs, Julierose
Ha! I already had this one on my list so you didn't get me again!
ReplyDeleteI love those dark blues dancing up the quilt! Gorgeous!
And don't you love it when you have MORE of a fabric than you thought, instead of the other way around?
So many seams but oh, so wonderful!! Here's to using up lots of dark blues AND squares.
ReplyDeleteLove this one,scrappy but definitely planned. Great work!
ReplyDeletegreat quilt! i'm hopping over to check out the pattern- it looks like a fun one!
ReplyDeleteThe dark blue you chose absolutely made this quilt work. Did you choose that colour deliberately or just because you had loads of scraps that colour, I wonder? Whichever reason, it worked! A very satisfying result all round - great use of those hundreds of 2.5” squares, binding, and such a pretty rabbit backing. Lovely! Just going to follow your link and take a look at the pattern.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful! I'm going to look at the tutorial now, thanks for the link! Happys titching!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt finish!!! Love that you cleared out your scrap bins! I'm definitely going to take a look at this pattern for scrap bin control!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on using up so many scraps and creating a fun quilt. And what a wonderful treat to have the backing fabric in your stash.

Looking at your pictures I could not find your replacement binding so you matched color really good!
ReplyDeleteWonderfully scrappy - I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great scrappy quilt! Nice that you could use up so many scraps and it's always a plus when you can use your stash for the backing. I really like the quilting design you used also.
