| I just love the way the sashings
pop out and I just can't get enough of scrappy bindings, Love
them!! |
I made this quilt up for the JoAnn's quilt contest. The fun thing behind it is
that it shows quilting on a tight budged it still affordable. I was able to
score all of these beautiful prints out of their clearance section when the
fabrics were an additional 50% off. So $1.50 a yard!!! You can't beat that!
Now, I know it isn't designer fabric, but for those that are just starting
quilting or on a tight budget, it is a great way to still enjoy quilting
goodness. Come
February - ish I will be starting a Quilt-A-Long of this pattern or a variation
of it depending on what everyone likes best. So if you are interested, click on

I designed the pattern and was super happy with the way it turned out. Trust me, it isn't put together how you would think it is :) I love how the squares in the center are nipped off by the sashing to give them an embedded look :) When I first put this quilt on my blog I threw out the idea of doing it in a Quilt-a-long. I had a positive response so that is the plan.

them:) |

Love the pattern, and I have enough 'scraps' to make one I think!
Loving your blog (a new follower)
Great pattern! I have loads of scraps and FQs to use. Quite possibly, I will join in. I'm now a follower of your blog.
Well, I have to say that you made my day. I am that quilter on a tight budget and Joann's is where all the fabric for my latest endeavor came from. All my prints were $1.50 a yard...the only thing I paid more for was the Kona solid. I love your quilt!
Wonderful quilt! I love the colours and the pattern! Thank you for sharing and giving inspiration!
