so i made a quilt!
..
dunno am i allowed to call it a quilt, though..
cause it was way too easy to make,
and design is too simple..
so, all those real quilters out there
might be offended
that i call this a quilt
..
it was rather fun little project
makes a nice gift
and it reduced my pile of fabric scraps
(i have insane amount of scraps
most of them being too small for any real size project
and then again - too big to go to the trash)
..
i always thought quilting is not really my thing
cause patience is not my virtue
but i enjoyed this project so much
that i think i'm going to make many more quilts
maybe even an elaborated one, who knows
..
only thing i really hated
was cutting the triangles out..
it just took too much time
like - a four set tennis match!
(so, before i start my next quilt
getting cutting mat and rotary cutter
would probably be a great idea)
..
quilt top is interfaced
and for the back of the quilt
i used orange quilted cotton
(yup, i cheated
cause batting was nowhere to be found
and that cotton was already in my stash
and was soft and orange and.. well - pre-quilted
what made it perfect for this project)
..
still feeling amazed
how much i enjoyed making this..
loved drawing different designs
choosing fabrics and arranging them
and then creating this big colorful puzzle
..
took me one entire football game to finish
(a long one though, spain and italy were playing
semi-finals of confederations cup
in case you're interested)
add that tennis match to that time
plus an hour i spend
drawing different designs
and digging trough my fabric scraps
to find the right colors
..
oh, and
don't let that wonky first pic fool ya
quilt is actually rectangular :)

ReplyDeletethank you.. you should totally try it out!
DeleteI wouldn´t know where to start to make a quilt, but you´ve done a terrific job here. Lovely!
ReplyDeletethanks, merche.. you can let your kids cut the triangles out, and the rest of work is a piece of cake :)
Deletegreat quilt! love that you showed the dresses the scraps came from. i keep saying i'm going to do this with my scraps... one day!
ReplyDeletethanks, lisa g..
DeleteLove your quilt! The colors match perfectly.
ReplyDeletethanks.. i tried to keep color palette simple, don't really like when peeps make quilts too colorful
DeleteIt looks really great! modern and I really like the ones with a simple design like this. Like lisa g. I really love that you showed us the dresses too!
ReplyDeletethanks, carolyn.. i love simple design ones too, might try some other shape for next one
DeleteAwesome! Love that you posted your dress pics that go with the fabric straps - very cool!
ReplyDeletethank you, glad that you like it
DeleteLove it! So cool to see where the fabric came from. I've been saving scraps for years to one day make a color wheel quilt. This may just inspire me to get to it!
ReplyDelete:) thank you.. so glad that i might have inspired you to make a quilt!
DeleteI love that it's made of your sewing scraps! Very cool. The colors are fantastic.
ReplyDeletethank you, stephanie
DeleteYou really have a knack for modern quilt design. It is amazing how well your dress fabric blended so beautifully. I really enjoyed the way you put this post together.
ReplyDeletethank you for your lovely words, anna christina
DeleteThat is a fantastic little quilt! I have a basket full of fabric scraps reserved for a project like this. One day... haha!
ReplyDeleteI think you should definitely call it a quilt though. It is quilted after all?! :)
