Thanks to a little bit of focus and a lot of perseverance, I finished piecing the third version of my candy coated quilt.
I love this pattern because it EATS fabric scraps! (That's a good thing!)
Lots and lots of strings.
Lots and LOTS of thread.
Lots and lots of color. Just the way I like it!
(Shoot even the back is pretty!)
Pattern is Candy Coated, found in Sunday Morning Quilts.
(It also happens to be the one featured on the cover.)
It measures 65" x 88"....so a lovely twin size quilt.
In case you are wondering, I haven't run out of scraps yet!
Wow!! Looks like this is going on my bucket list. I need something to tame my scraps!
ReplyDeleteThe change of colours makes a great difference, from the pink on the book to this colourful version. I must say I love both!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how different it looks in a bright palette. I love it!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's pretty even on the back! Your passion for scraps is very inspiring... I've your book and this quilt is on my to do list for a while.
ReplyDeleteSo - this ist scrap project no.69?!
ReplyDeleteI really LOVE it! Well done!
a person as creative as you will never run out of scraps. This is so lovely
ReplyDeleteScraps never go away...it seems like the more you use them, the more they multiply!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Absolutely gorgeous!! What a great way to use up scraps :-)

I'm definitely going to try and make this. Yours is completely beautiful. So happy, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI bought your book for the Candy Coated quilt on the cover, and this version is just as beautiful! So bright and cheery, I'm totally lovin' it. Congrats on finishing the top!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a fun quilt top. If I made it, my scraps would be gone. Your scraps must multiply when you aren't looking. ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Bright and fun. Another wonderful example of scrap management.
ReplyDeleteYes, the back is beautiful, so glad you took a shot of that! :) You are creative even in your photography! Nice quilt. So glad your book is in my sewing room library. Got to get to those quilts some day!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty! I love all your scrap projects. They are always so cheerful. Love your book too!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and springy! Scraps rule, especially when you work your magic with them!
ReplyDeleteAmanda Jean, do you worry about the grain of the fabric when piecing with your scraps? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove that pattern! I plan to make another soon.

ReplyDeleteSo your last comment - you aren't out of scraps yet.... do you ever think there will be an end to them? Personally I think my scraps procreate in the night... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the strings quilt. My pile has turned into 3 large boxes. I really need to get them turned into something soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, I must do this! Thanks for sharing...so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteAwesome quilt! Love that it uses your scraps, and is so pretty also! :)

ReplyDeleteAnd that reminds me, I need to pick up mine from where it has been on loan in a store...
This quilt looks like your logo border on your web page! Just so fresh, and colorful, and happy!
ReplyDeleteI must say I adore your book. It's the only crafty book I own that is getting tattered from so much use. And the Candy-Coated pattern is one of my favorites! I'm itching to make one (or 10!) as soon as I finish up my current projects.
