Easy Sunday Quilt Top


Easy Sunday
It's a top!

Easy Sunday is a free Free Spirit pattern intended for use with Kaffe Fassett Artisan prints but that is not what I used because that's not what I had. 

I keep telling myself not to use patterns intended for a particular line of fabric. It takes me longer to figure out what to use and then figure out if I have enough of each fabric A--U to use. Then I need to keep track of which fabrics are A--U and hope they all look good next to each other.  For quite awhile I've had a little box of fabrics in brick reds, eggplant, dark pinks and browns I thought would play nicely together. I was hoping to empty the box and make something easy with those fabrics. So once the fabrics are picked out and cut it is easy to make. 

I did not empty that little box of fabric so will probably be making something else in these colors. I'm just not sure what that will be at this point. 

I used a mustard colored grunge fabric for the block corners. 






And sew on...

I love how you put this together and the colors are great--lovely work...I agree it is hard to "see" a quilt in any other than the original colors !!
I think that is what makes using just "Stash" harder...you did a great job hugs, Julierose

You did a great job with your own stash on this one. ;^)

Beautiful purples and pinks! I like the way you arranged the blocks, like a wave across the quilt.

Love your quilt. It must have driven you crazy keeping it all organized

Great looking quilt! Thanks for the link to the pattern. I think I like your colors/fabric choices better than theirs!

That's a neat design, and I love the colors! I don't know what it looks like in Kaffe fabrics, but I think you nailed it, Cathy!

Love the colours and fabrics you used for your version of the quilt. Far more subtle than the ones in the variety of Kaffe fabrics and looks great. Glad you persevered with it.

it looks great even of it was a 'thinker' quilt top!!

It looks like a fun top that could be done fairly quickly if you kept sewing. I like your version. Thanks for the pattern link.

Very nice Cathy. That was a perfect design for those fabrics. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!

Cathy said...

Sweet! Your quilt top turned out great with the yellow accents. I’m going to try that pattern (thanks for the link!) in a smaller size - and who-knows what color combo from donated scraps! Another great flimsy!!

Your Easy Sunday quilt turned out lovely!

Designs like that look so good (love your colors) but they give me such a headache (having to follow such specific placement). I can do it but I much prefer my controlled-chaos approach.

Maybe a design for my homespuns? Hmmm.... Love your magentas.
