Another quilt finished up and bound is the
first of the Spring String sew alongs.
This may be the last one for the year!
It quilted up very nicely although it was a
bit difficult to choose the quilting pattern.
The quilt has many seams and I usually try to do a continuous
pattern to make the quilting quicker and easier.
That did not happen with this quilt.
I chose a corner connector for the light backgrounds on block 1.
The outside points in both sets were
sewed into the points with loops
making sure to catch all the points.
The same was done for the four patch blocks.
Light threads on the light and blue variegated
thread was used on the blues.
Unfortunately, it also shows up
very well when a mistake is made!
One spot should be redone but it is so hard to find I
may leave it be. I am not point it out because I'm sure a
sharp-eyed reader will find it !
Have a great year end!
Wonderful quilt wonderfully quilted. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThank you ! It was fun to do!
DeleteIf someone takes the time to point out the error, they're not a friend. ;) Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteIt adds interest. My little GK s thought it was great! My DIL claimed it right away as she loves the colors!
DeleteSo many great scraps make your quilts sparkle! :)
ReplyDeleteI still have lots and am planning more for next year!
DeleteI love your quilt, Deb, and how you have quilted it. The combination of blue and brown is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI had my doubts at first but wow , they do compliment each other don't they!
DeleteWhat lovely quilt and your quilting on it is perfect. Not sure what you mean by a spot that needs to be redone as it looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteThere is one block where a unit is turned. We'll see if anyone spots it! It is staying as is. Thank you , the color do work well together!
DeleteWow - so many pieces. It looks great and I love the color combo.
ReplyDeleteIt did have a lot of bits to sew together! The brown and blue are surprisingly appealing!
DeleteReally, really pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you ! and Happy New Year
DeleteVery pretty! Love how you quilted it. Happy New Year! I see many more scrap quilts in your future. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Thank you , I'm getting better with more practicing! Confidence building for sure!
DeleteHey Deb! Happy New Year! Do you keep track of all your quilts and if so, how? Also, do you do a year end count? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteI used to keep them all on a spread sheet , but that burns up a lot of time, ( I kept checking progress and updating) so now I do it on my blog finishes page/post and can see my finishes since I document/post them soon after. Ufo s just circulate in my head and they always are like treasure surprises when I "discover" on that plays squirrel and comes to the front of the line.
DeleteIt's beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThank you !! I am very pleased as it is a bit outside of my usual strings and squares stitching.
DeleteDeb I think this has to be one of your most beautiful finishes. I love blue and brown together. This must have been a lot of work with all of the piecing in those blocks. I missed seeing the original post with the pattern name or link. What is the pattern? Thank you for sharing on To Do Tuesday. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteIt is a design from Brenda Logan Conquering Mt Scrapmore. I will dig our the designer and add it here. The blue and brown really surprised me on how well the compliment each other! I have another of the same to quilt up. It made 2 twins with just a little adjusting. My artist DIL claimed it for her own when she saw it so yay!!! Happy New Year!
DeleteBeautiful finish! I agree with Carol -- the brown works magic by grounding the brighter gold and blue. Congratulations and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI agree too! They certainly work well together!
DeleteI love a blue and brown quilt. The little bits of gold add a lot of spark to this gorgeous one. The quilting is AWEsome! I know how hard free-motion quilting is so great job on those little loops. So many beautiful bits of scrap was used in this one. Bravo! ;^)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this finish, Deb! Fantastic job on the quilt and the quilting! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, what a gorgeous quilt! I love the blues and browns. They work so well together. Thanks so much for linking up to I Quilted This! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beaut!! love this color combo and that pop of yellow sure sets it off!! no mistakes - design elements - makes its all the more loveable!!!
