It's a finish!
Buckeye Beauty
60 x 78
In 2020 I started making several different blocks that used 3.5 and 2 inch pieces. I cut those width pieces from a scrap "chunk" in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color of the month and then used those scraps in several different quilt blocks. Buckeye Beauty was one of those blocks.
For these blocks I combined scraps in the RSC color Of the month with shirts from the thrift store or black multicolor scraps or red multicolor scraps. The blocks finish at six inches.
I quilted into it on my sewing machine on the diagonals.
I had a lot of black multicolor pieces in the leftover binding box that I used for the binding.
I have been using a bolt of black and white daisies this month. I think I will be able to use it on the back of four quilts. This is quilt #2.
And sew on...
That is a beauty for sure! I love all the rich colors, and that they are all going the same direction.
ReplyDeletewow isn't that a pretty one such nice bright colors
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, Cathy! I love how setting the blocks this way gives you those chains. You can't tell where one block starts and the next one ends!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!,
ReplyDeleteI love it! Such a great use of scraps
ReplyDeleteAs always, love your take on a scrap quilt! I love everything about this one: the play on "bright & dark" as the color scheme for the blocks, setting the blocks in one direction teamed with the simple diagonal quilting. I could so see this donated to a charity for teens. Love it and now I want to make one!
ReplyDeleteThat strong diagonal is terrific with these scrappy blocks!
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt, Cathy! Love the vibrant colors and pattern. Great use of scraps.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are beautiful in that one! I love the contrast of the rainbow fabrics with the darker backgrounds. Congratulations on getting the quilting done.
ReplyDeleteI’ve always loved the Buckeye Beauty block and yours is beautiful with all the dark backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteTerrific quilt and the backing works beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun one!! I like how you set the blocks with the dark and light
ReplyDeleteBeauty, indeed! I love it. Colorful, scrappy, yet still unified. Great job.
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the blocks and the quilting.
ReplyDeleteLove this! The colors are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite quilt block designs and scrappy quilts are the best. Love this quilt!
