The grey thread that my mom used has a slight variegation to it which gives another fun dimension to this quilt!
I love looking at this quilt and thinking about where some of the scraps originated! The fish print in the dusty blue block below came from a scrap bag I bought on vacation in Amish country last October.
For the backing, I picked a teal dot extra wide backing fabric. My mom also trimmed the quilt and bound it for me using the same backing fabric.
It's nice to have a few quilts with a slightly more manly feel to them!
And unlike Wednesday when I was fighting the wind with my Quarter Cabin quilt, the weather was cooperative today and I wasn't worried about my quilt blowing away!
Once again, a huge thank you goes to Amanda Jean of Crazy Mom Quilts for including this amazing quilt in your book! I am so happy to have another quilt finished for this year!

Sharing at Brag about your Beauties and Finish it up Friday!
Hi Alison! What a fun finish for you. Not only to look at the fabrics from different earlier projects and to remember them fondly, but also that your mom quilted it! That is a wonderful win/win in my book. It really is a beauty and the different fabrics you chose with the layout is just fab. Happy Happy Friday to you. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun finish! I love how scrappy quilts can help us look back and reminisce on other projects we have created.
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful! I love the scrappy donuts, and the low volume background is fabulous too. So much dimension, so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really neat scrap quilt - beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou have great scraps! They make a wonderful foundation for this neat pattern. Congrats on the finish, so fun! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt! Great use of the scraps :) Enjoy your finish!
ReplyDeleteLovely finish! I agree: It's fun to remember where different scraps came from, and it's nice to have a quilt with a more masculine palette on hand.
ReplyDeleteBTW: My mom quilts, too. But she's never quilted or trimmed or and bound a project for me. I need to do something about that!
