The Quilters Blog Festival is going on this week over at Amy's Creative Side blog. It's a quilt show online. Bloggers can enter two quilts in the link party. This is my second entry, my Lego quilt:
My original blog entry on this quilt can be found here. It's made from 1 1/2" scrap strips. Many of the blocks are theme based on color words I had leftover from an extra-wide backing:
I quilted it with my favorite modern quilting motif--figure 8s:
The size is 97" square. Finished on January 15, 2017.
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

ReplyDeleteWow, what a stash buster!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and I love the included words !
ReplyDeleteMust be quite heavy with all the seams ?
Wow! I'm intrigued to see how all the colors play together. It's easy to see the colors in the individual blocks, but you really have to look for them when they're in the quilt. Very interesting! Lovely job!

This one is beautiful. So many little pieces. It must have taken quite some time to make. Did you hang it in the shop?
ReplyDeleteWow! and it has the added value of the nice pastime checking for "who's dress/shirt/trousers was this fabric from?" ;)
ReplyDeleteThat really did use up a lot of scraps! It looks awesome!
