This one was sitting at six completed blocks, and three more with only the outer piece to sew on. It was scrunched at the bottom of a random plastic tub for at least six months. I knew it was there, but I didn’t think it would ever see the light of day.
Once in a while, there’s just one of those projects that part way through, I just go “what was I thinking?” This was one of those. I just decided it wasn’t worth spending my time finishing, and stuffed it in the cupboard. Lots of times I do this, but I know that at some time I’ll pull it out and make it work. This one I didn’t have that feeling. It just didn’t have any potential.
But since I’m on a mission to finish all these half done quilts, I decided to pull out the blocks and put them up on the design wall. I didn’t want to spend a bunch of time on it, cause there are too many other exciting ideas in my head, but I really wanted to make this one work Then I decided that what this thing needed was a bit more red. So what could be easier than a red binding?
There really are too many cute fabrics in here. It would have been a shame to leave it sitting in the cupboard.
And then I had to add some more of my favorite print for the back! It feels so good to have it finished up! I can’t say that it’s one of my brightest moments, but hey! it’s still cute, and some baby will love it.
P.S. Notice that tag in the last picture? I just got some new ones and I’m super excited about them so far. Once I’ve used them a bit more, I’ll tell you more about them. (Just gotta make sure that they’re as great as they seem to be so far!)
This is an adorable baby quilt! I'm so glad you finished her up and let her shine 🙂
I hope the labels work out and you can file a good report. I've been wanting to get some so I'm anxious to hear about them.
i love the quilt. i love that line of fabric so much!
That's a very cute quilt – I like the way you offset the center squares in each block. Glad you finished it up!!
I love this quilt so much!!
I think it turned out pretty darn good!! I, too, have blocks at the bottom of a drawer that I look at every once in a while. So far, I haven't been inspired to finish them 🙂 Maybe I should do what you did….just get them out and DO something with them. Maybe they'll turn out just as good as yours did 🙂
it's darling, and I'm sure it's glad to be rescued out of that forgotten pile! 🙂
Keep up the good work finishing all those projects. I think you will definitely appreciate the finished projects and the opportunity to start something new without the others hanging over you.
It's gorgeous! Well worth the time and effort to finish! I'm sure the quilt fairy waves her magic wand over out UFO's while they languish in a cupboard! And we love it all over again!
Stunning! I recognize the binding (I have it in every colorway!) but may I ask what is the backing? I love it.
love the back and side fabric!!
so nice!
I think it's lovely!
This is a really lovely quilt – so fresh and bright!
I'm so glad it didn't spend the rest of its life in the bottom of a plastic tub. It's really cute–especially with that red binding!
Way to finish it! I really like it! I need some tags! I've been thinking about it for a long time. I've wondered about making my own???hmmm
Well done for finishing! Makes me wonder what else you have squirreled away!?? I really like it!
I'm in love with this quilt for lots of reasons! love your fabric choices and design!
