I finished a quilt top this morning! There are a hundred other things I should have been doing instead, but that's when the most sewing gets done, right?
It was way too windy for a clothesline photo today, but I gave it my best shot anyway. (Hahaha! sorry for the pun. It would make my dad proud, though. :))
The majority of the fabric is
Nana's Pantry from
Connecting Threads, with a few stash additions to make it a little bit larger. Some of the fabric was distressed using
this method. It measures about 52" x 64". I love that it feels nearly vintage already!

I love it! This is just my kind of quilt. In fact, something like this was already on my bucket list, even more so now!
Just gorgeous! Your colour palette is incredibly beautiful!
You kill me with your beautiful quilts!!! Gosh, one more thing just added to my "To Make" list!

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Gorgeous. Really really beautiful!!!
This is another amazing quilt top! I love the colour play, and I had to look twice to see if you'd already quilted it, because it already looks puffy and soft! I can totally imagine this one as a big pouffy tied quilt. So yummy!
I think this might be one my favorites of yours. Must give distressing a go...
Still in love with the bleaching / distressing look from when you first made the pillows! Gorgeous quilt top!
Such beautiful, happy colours!
(I was also distracted by the mention of a clothesline. My American friends tell me everyone uses tumble dryers there. I'm so happy it isn't really everyone! My blog's most popular post is a peg bag tutorial.)
So beautiful! This quilt is absolutely stunning. I love how bright and happy it is! You do nice things with fabric, friend.
Hi! I am here from Lynn's blog. Loved what I have seen! Went back several months to see lots of your projects! I will be adding you to my blogroll. See you again soon. I see you are in MN. My best friend
Oops...my best friend left today to visit family in MN.

I always quilt when there are other things that need doing. :)
Oh my! That us just so very pretty. You gave such a way with color.
I love the colors. Very cute.
It has a lovely vintage feel. Nice finish.
Love it! Best time to sew , when you're not supposed to :)
Do you have a tutorial for the Distressed Quilt...I love it!
Sorry, please tell me what a distressed quilt is.
This-is-so-cool!!
I will go shopping (not fabric but ingredients) right away!
:-)
I absolutely love this quilt, the look is amazing!
It's lovely. Yes, very vintage. :)
Me encanta, es una preciosidad. Es alegre, con mucho color y muy, muy fresco. Me gusta mucho. Felicidades. Un beso fuerte
Spectacular!! I love it!!
That is really pretty! As always, I love your color choices for it. :)
That looks like great color combo and I liked that pun :-)
good to see you got your priorities right stitching comes first a lovely quilt
What a beautiful quilt! I have some fabrics which have been sun damaged on one half and I will definitely have to consider making one of these as I hate the idea of wasting all of the damaged fabric!

Ooh, I love it! I'm really starting to enjoy 30's prints and Nana's Pantry is one of my favorites.
Love this! Are your squares 5" or 6"?
So pretty thank you fr sharing
So pretty! I love the distressed look!
Wow - this is gorgeous. Your posts are always so inspiring!
I love it! I think this needs to be my next leader/ender project.
Oh I love this quilt top!
It's beautiful! I've been feeling up my scraps lately and trying to decide what to do with them. I have plenty of other projects already started though. I should probably work on those.
It's always a pleasure to see your latest finish. Such a cheerful quilt top!
It's beautiful, AmandaJean! And lots of "should be doings" get pushed aside at my house, too!!
Love the use of color! I have to ask, though, when do you ever get the chance to get these turned into quilts? I love to create quilts using scraps, but I now have more than 200 "ready to be quilted" tops! I now have a self imposed rule that I can't start any new quilts until I am able to complete some of the ones already finished!
What do you do?
Beautiful! Love the colors too! Great job putting it together :)
Ooh, that is just lovely - super job!
Another beautiful quilt
It's beautiful! ;p
Each time I see these distressed fabric quilts I get a pang that says "I need to make one of these". Thanks for the link to your very good tutorial--it would be so handy if you could also add it to your "other tutorial" tab. Lovely quilt!
