I finished up my Mod Sampler Quilt last night. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you step away from the computer and actually get to work (thanks, Carissa!).
The finished size is about 52" x 60", although I haven't measured since I completed it. This was my first time doing a pattern on the backing of a quilt and I love how it turned out.
I'm also joining Jacquie's Spring to Finish challenge this month. At the time I signed up for the challenge, I had 6 WIPs to finish this month. Since then, I've finished up the Mod Sampler Quilt and Lynn's block for Common Threads. Now I've got two knitting projects and two more quilts to finish up before the end of April. I love crossing things off my never-ending crafting to do list. Wish me luck!
This is so pretty! I also love the backing colours. I saw this tutorial/quilt along as well, and decided not to do one. And then, after seeing so many beautiful outcomes, it's on my list of to do's!
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
This looks awesome! The colors are great.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I love it. And congratulations on a finish! WooHoo!
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Another great quilt. Congrats on another one off the list. I wanted to join the Spring to Finish but I know I won't get much done this month. We finally made it to North Carolina with all our stuff, and now our apt is full of boxes. Seriously... FULL! So I have been working on that and everything else. Hopefully I will be back to crafting soon. I did manage to finish one more dish cloth so that should count for something right? I can't wait to see what knitting projects you have in the works.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt turned out fantastic! I'm ready to find some time to jump back into quilting for fun -- lately I'm stuck sewing up reversible superhero capes for all of the little boys I know. Everyone and their dog is receiving a superhero cape from us this year, haha.
ReplyDeleteHi Rebekah,
ReplyDeleteMy previous 2 winners never contacted me and you are 1 of the winners now! Please email me at priscilla91@iowatelecom.net with your address so I can get you your Cupcakes!
Have a great night,
Priscilla
It cam out really beautiful! Congratulations on a wonderful new quilt. I have to finish mine now too!
ReplyDeleteYou are right! i find myself stuck by the computer way too many times.
ReplyDeleteLove your sampler quilt, mine is still just on the list. One day, I get there.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in your sampler. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt really turned out great--I love the colors you choose!
ReplyDeleteI think it's fantastic! I had such high hopes for mine but as I started piecing the blocks it became obvious that I had a cutting mistake somewhere and I got discouraged and never went back. Seeing yours all done and lovely is making me want to get back to it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI adore the back as much as the front. It looks so great.
ReplyDeleteI am really thinking of making a doll quilt to ease myself back into making a quilt. I figure I should practice while waiting for the last quilt block for Melody's V-day quilt to arrive. Now, if I could only stop knitting and crocheting. Those projects are so portable.
Good for you! It looks soooo awesome. It is amazing what you can get done when you aren't on the computer...oh, wait a minute...
ReplyDeleteThis turned out wonderfully! One of these days I will make this quilt....
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty! I hope the finishing of the rest of your projects goes well:)
ReplyDeleteSee how lovely that orange is. Love that stripe on the back. This one is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is gorgeous - I wish I had the patience for quilting. I love the finished product, but the making just kills me!!! Also, just want to let you know I have mentioned this site on my blog, and used a picture of one of your quilts (which I've credited you with, and linked back here). Hope that's all ok. If not, please let me know and I'll rectify immediately. Cheers, Bec :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this one! It's got a great combination of colors and a nice, calming feel.
ReplyDeletei love this! the orange just pops, which i love. and the backing is wonderful, too. now you have two quilts in one. :)
ReplyDeletethis is fab!!! i love the back. great colors and fabrics...spring to finish is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteit's beautiful! i love the 'hidden surprise' on the back! nice touch!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the back! I will be attempting something like that on the back of the quilt that I am currently working on. I'm to the point now where I just want to get it finished!
