My HST quilt is done! I really enjoyed making this quilt but it did take longer than I thought it would.
I did not add any yellow or orange....
The quilting is a daisy with some loops. Totally omitted this when I posted it yesterday......it was quilted by Susie Racobaldo! She has quilted quilts for me in the past.
Some favorite blocks, the scissors and scooters...
those glasses too.
I love the crinkly look!
It's pretty ugly around here. The great migration upstairs has started. Yesterday my husband and I spent a few hours hauling all my furniture/very heavy things upstairs. It was quite a workout, I was sweating the whole day.
It's amazing how bad your things look outside of your sewing room. I am hoping to get it all back together by next weekend. Just hauling all the fabric upstairs is not a whole lot of fun and takes a lot of time.
The good thing is that I am cleaning stuff out for my guilds' auctions, I feel less guilty about getting rid of it. Some one will use it.
I also am adding to my scrap piles, so if you haven't already, be sure to go and leave me a comment HERE and you could win a box full of scraps.
Back to work,
Kelly
I love scraps!
ReplyDeleteBe still my beating heart - I love your quilt!! So many fun fabrics!! Your daisy quilting is wonderful. Good luck with moving up stairs. I think you'll really enjoy the change and it's a good chance to have a good sort out of your sewing things. I hope you find some fun things you'd forgotten about, they're like rewards for your hard work.
ReplyDeleteYour triangle quilt is simply awesome....love all the funky fabrics you included. Moving is so much work, but I bet you will love it once it's done...hang in there!! ( I hope there were no shocked looks from your hubby when he was helping to haul all that fabric goodness!)
ReplyDeleteThe quilt came out great, but I am exhausted watching you move.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really great quilt! Love all the different fabrics you played with and the selective color range. Congrats on the big quilt room move! Always interesting to rearrange things.:)
ReplyDeleteI really like the HST quilt. Scraps are like candy. Yummy
ReplyDeleteThat is a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteI had to empty my sewing room recently to get new carpet. I cant find a thing in there now! lol
Wow! Great finish - you used such delicious colours in your HST quilt, Kelly! It's so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the sewing room relocation. All that work will be worth it!
It always feels good to regift quilting things. And amazing how much stuff fits on shelves. I had to move everything upstairs when my quilting studio flooded. Nothing got ruined but I did a lot of sorting, in fact it's time to do it again.

Your hst quilt is wonderful! I love your fresh color scheme and the fun fabrics--like a treasure hunt to find them.
ReplyDeleteYour HST looks great! Have fun finding all those "forgotten" things in your move upstairs!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is amazing!!! Love all your fun fabrics and it looks even better all finished and ready to snuggle under. Good luck moving your sewing room. You will be happy once you get settled in the larger space.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt! I love the color scheme:) Am sure all that hard work will be worth it in the end...
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is stunning. These blocks are so effective but I can see why they take a lot of time.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the big move. It always seems a mess at the time but is worth it in the end.
your quilt is great. Love the novelty prints!! yes, HST quilts are a lot of sewing!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your move to higher quarters will be great once all is in place. I too went through everything when I moved and really weeded out. Felt great -
I want to make this!
ReplyDeleteI love scraps I think they make the most beautiful quilts because of how random colors are. Thanks for the chance to win some
ReplyDeleteLove this half square triangle quilt. It looks like it creates happiness, cheery!
ReplyDeleteWow, I really love your HST quilt, it is quite beautiful! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt and my two granddaughters would too. May have to give it a try. It is beautiful
ReplyDeleteLove scraps and thank you for giving us a chance to have a box of them.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the half square triangles. Don't know if I could hang in there long enough for a large quilt but it would make a great baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteI got banished to the basement ;-( still working on organizing but got my first used sewing table <3 that & a large book shelf that a friend was getting rite of. Don't have a lot of stash as I am working on my first quilts. Yes, first quilts; the quilt group I joined in January 2012 did not work on any quilts because everyone had to many UFO's, this year they stated with Jenny B. Moon Glow, Confiti, A Blooming 9 patch, Elenor Burns Underground Railroad & America the Beautiful just to name a few & I am killed over my head, would've loved something easy like this HST! What size blocks are your hst & finished block? PS will never get got up so many easier quilts that are just beautiful that I want to do - but I don't want to give up invested to much $$$ to quit!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to collect any scraps I can as all I have are fat quarters. I hate to cut them up, but it looks like the only way for me to have a scrap stash. Pick me, pick me!!!
