In honour of TGIFF and WIPs Be Gone, I present to you ... some finishes for this week!
First, my 1000 pyramids quilt. OK, it's more like 60 pyramids, but you get the idea :) This was made from leftover fabric from my Gananoque stars project - pretty much every scrap of leftover fabric. I even remembered to keep some of the background fabric set aside for binding. It was quilted with feathers in all the borders, and a meander in the main part of the quilt. This was a short-lived UFO, since I started the quilt earlier this year for a demo day at the local quilt shop (demoing the 60 degree ruler).
Next up is quilt from a panel I picked up at a guild meeting - back in early 2014, I think. There's a second, partner to this one, but the binding isn't on that one yet. I had the 2 panels, plus I think it was 4 fat quarters and a 1/2 yard of a striped border fabric. Most of the fat quarters were used on the other panel, and this one got sections of the border print. The cut was just a bit too short, unfortunately, for the size of the panel, but I did some piecing and made it work out.
I never would have picked that red binding, but as I was trimming the quilt, I found it on my cutting table. I think my cats pulled it off the shelf recently and I never got it put away again. But when I looked at it, the red was a perfect match for some of the darker reds in the quilt, and I think it makes a nice frame for it now that it's done.
And finally, I have a little quiltie, made from leftovers from my Chain Reaction quilt (which still is not quilted). It's 24" square, and will be a donation to the children's hospital through a guild, when meetings start up again in September. I had some purple/blue and some green/blue 9-patches left over from Chain Reaction. But only purple and blue fabric left. I had to add an additional purple fabric, and I left the green 9-patches scattered in there for interest.
I'm also linking up to Link a Finish Friday and Can I get a Whoop Whoop
Great examples of using it up!
ReplyDeleteHey, Krista, I was not able to capture the TBT button. What am I doing wrong? I've been thinking about posting some of my old projects and TBT is the perfect outlet!
ReplyDeleteNever mind. Apparently I had not copied the entire code. ;-(
ReplyDeleteKrista, those are three darling quilts from your stash. You have the knack for creating beauties from leftovers. I especially like the panel one, but they're all gems. Thanks for linking to WIPs Be Gone!
