Hi everyone! I am super excited to announce that all the blocks are completed and sewn together for my latest scrap quilt!! and the first border is on...so I just need an outside border and I am done, done, done!!!
Here she is...scrappy all the way, pretty much. I bought the scrap bag of fabric strips and pieces at a now closed quilt shop, for $5.00. And then I cut this quilt out and I have let it languish (age) a good while. So I am so tickled to get this quilt to this point.
I made a few errors on the way...hahaha!!!See above? And below?
This one too? So my seam ripper was smoking today! LOL!! At last it is in one piece, so I am just on the hunt for an outside border. I have almost all scraps in my stash, and no big pieces will fit the bill....so far.
This quilt is a duplicate of a smaller quilt I made years ago, from a Shar Jorgenson pattern.
Have a great day, each of you!!!!
Julie

It makes my heart sing to see other accomplished quilters make the same goofs I do! Pretty quilt, BTW.
what's a quilt without a few bloopers for memories, lol. I love this pattern and it's just as pretty in a bigger size quilt. Very well, Julie. Enjoy the hunt for the border fabric. ;^)
Can you share the quilt pattern? I MAY have it, and have seen it before, but I can’t remember what it is! Great recovery with the seam ripper😉😉. I have a recent top finish which had THREE mistakes in it that I didn’t see until I took it for Show and Tell to my small group. THEY all saw what I did NOT see😳😳😳. Still have to fix those errors before I add the final border.
Nice finish--and I bet your heart is singing--
at least that is what I think I am hearing ????
luv, di
omigosh...sooo pretty! i love scrap quilts...but still scratching my head at having to buy scraps!! LOL....not me...
It's really lovely and worth the wait!
Love this scrappy quilt. How do you get so much done???
It is beautiful! Don't worry about a little goof. I made a big goof on my last label, last line, but it i what it i; I'm not replacing that label! ---"Love"
What a fantastic scrappy quilt!!
❤️ ❤️ love scrappy quilts, and this one is gorgeous!
A thing of beauty! I love those stars :-)
I absolutely love this! What a cheerful quilt. Seeing this makes me want to make one - just so fun.
Your mistakes made me smile. I am big stitching a quilt right now and it appears that my moving blocks around to get the right distribution of color didn't apply to the blocks with the measuring tape fabric in it. I have three right in a row. It will have to do because I'm not rearranging them now.
Your quilt is just so sweet.
That's a great job! Love that little pattern.
Can't believe you made all that from one person's bag of scraps... you did well!
Mistake? I couldn't see it!
thanks for sharing!
Looks great to me. Scrappy quilts are some of my favorites.
Oh, what a charmer! I love the way the stars spill into that first border. Why not just slap a piano key border on this? I know it is extra work, but I think it would look great. So I will encourage you to do it, even though it would be more work than I would want to do. LOL
An absolute glorious finish! I’ve just completed a very long term scrap quilt and I know that feeling! I’m still flying high and feeling inspiration as a result. XO
Ohh I like it!! ( Mistake and all) ha ha! those stars are so neat how they come together!!
Nice quilt. Sorry for the ripping, but that goes with the territory at times.
