quilt top crazy


You may have noticed this month I have been making quilt tops like crazy. I can't help it. It goes well with my no fabric buying month.

Here is the latest completed top. Inspired by this flickr group.
This has been a work in progress since June or earlier.
Wouldn't this be a cute pattern to use for a keepsake quilt made from a child's clothing?

  5. I'm amazed and jealous that you have so many scraps that you can coordinate a scrap quilt! It's really pretty.

    I'm glad you posted that Flikr group. I've had a lovely time browsing.

    I FINALLY started the quilt a long yesterday. I did the first two blocks. They look fantastic, and I'm so excited. Thank you for your ultra-clear instructions. I just set the laptop up next to the sewing machine and went for it. This is only my 3rd quilt top, so I'm on a steep learning curve. But so far so good!

  10. that is a FABOO quilt.

    You have a keen eye, and I appreciate it.

    We're in the process of working on adoption #2, but once we are done using up kids clothes? You can bet your bottom dollar, I'll be employing this strategy!
