My apologies for posting about this quilt again so quickly, but I just couldn't resist entering it into the Blogger's Quilt Festival over at
Amy's Creative Side. Next time around I should work on being more prepared for the Festival. Maybe try the sneak approach instead of posting about every step of the process along the way?*wink

I'm entering this quilt into the Scrap Quilt category. This particular quilt came together very fast over the course of about a week. I saw a picture of a lovely, springy looking quilt that made me remember a little stack of 9-patch blocks leftover from a previous project.

I've devised several different quilt ideas in my head for these little orphaned quilt blocks through the last several months, but nothing ever 'took' until I got started with this project. Not that I ever really tried very hard of course!

My mom generously rescued me with my border fabric dilemma (I don't have a lot of big pieces of fabric or very much bright, young or fun fabrics either) and I was able to gift it to a young friend in plenty of time for her graduation party.

It came out to about 55" square which is a little small for a lap quilt, but I absolutely love the cheerfulness it exudes and I'm pretty sure it has found a good home. Go ahead and click on over to the
Spring 2013 Blogger's Quilt Festival for some wonderful eye candy. You know you want to!
I didn't have anything ready for the festival - glad to see this one in it!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty - great rescue of orphaned blocks!
ReplyDeleteEvery day the sticky note that says "post blog fest entry" just stares at me!! So good for you for jumping in! I might have already mentioned how much I like this quilt. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd never have believed these blocks weren't originally meant for this quilt! The yellow sashing and the blue border complement the blocks so well! It's really lovely :)
ReplyDeleteIts wonderful to see this happy quilt again! Even the backing is bright and beautiful!!

ReplyDeleteOoo... I'm diggin' this! I have a pile of 9-patches that have been languishing, waiting for some inspiration to hit. Your setting is a lot of fun! I just love the bright tones in this quilt-- it is begging for a good snuggle. What a special gift!
