It's spring break next week for school, so I'm planning on using my extra free time to work on some quilt tops that have been sitting in my closet for a few months.
But, before I get to those older projects, I wanted to work on my new quilt project. Today I finished the Mod Sampler Quilt Along quilt top. I cut everything out last night and spent this afternoon sewing the blocks and finishing the top. I'm so excited that I was able to make this entire top out of my fabric stash! I think I'll have to wait until my shopping hiatus is over in order to finish the back of this quilt. I just don't have a lot of big pieces of fabric in my stash that will work for the back.
This shopping hiatus is definitely teaching me to use what I have and be satisfied with what I already have. I've been trying to use up my extra bobbins and thread and have saved a lot of money by not buying new matching thread to quilt blocks. It's really nice to empty some spots on my thread holder and empty out some bobbins.
This looks fantastic! I love the colors and that it is all from your stash. It is such a good feeling and clearly can lead to something beautiful. How big is the quilt?
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty and fresh! I love all the colors you used.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Quilt. Who is it for? I hope YOU. You have a great stash.
ReplyDeleteIt's fantastic - I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been feeling very satisfied since I decided to knit from the stash this year. It's true that it makes you appreciate what you have.
ah, spring break. the ONE time of year when I wish i was taking more than one class, so that I could actually feel like I was getting a break! That quilt looks like a good day of sewing. congratulations! are you loving the mod sampler quilt-along? i very much enjoyed her post about color theory. way more than I ever thought I would. I wonder if I could do a stash quilt.... Not that I don't have a stash (I do. it's huge.) but not all of it is quilting weight, so... that wouldn't work so well. hmmmmm.... you are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYou are fast! Great top :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful, wonderful job on using what you have!
ReplyDeletei love your quilt top!!! it's beautiful! i love making myself use what i have, too. it's a very good exercise in self control and it always makes me more creative!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully coordinated stash quilt! Love those blues and oranges!
ReplyDeletehi, your quilt is gorgeus!!!!!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the colors you used.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful! Wow, you are so ahead. My spring break is over and did finish some projects that were waiting for a long time. I am still in the picking the fabric stage on the Quilt Along. Enjoy you break! can't wait to see all you create!
ReplyDeleteWow, that was super fast! Love how it turned out. I can't wait to see how you quilt it and what backing you choose.
ReplyDeleteThats beautiful and so refreshing to look at! And I know what you mean about the thread, I always need a new colour. It gets expensive!
ReplyDeleteOh spring break...my plan is to work on that quilt as well! I have my card stock out and my rotary cutter ready...I think tomorrow after work (when I would be in class) I'll cut it out! Yours looks great!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow you're quilt! It looks beautiful.
