A finished quilt on the design wall!

What a great feeling to finish this UFO on the last day of May! Scrappy (Carolina) Chains is on the design wall, and it is done, done, done!


These quilt blocks were started in 2010 to use up scrap polka dot batiks. The block pattern is by Bonnie Hunter and was in the Quiltmaker magazine. 
The project get stalled by the challenge of making a layout decision.
I'm quite happy with it now that it's all said and done.






And I am quite tickled that the batting, the backing and the binding all were made from leftovers. Nothing was purchased in making this quilt!
It even has a label, which is kind of lame, but it is there!

Hop over to Patchwork Times to see more design wall postings.

Hurray for you ! It is Beautiful ! Double Hurray for using all scraps!

I am working on my first Bonnie Hunter pattern from her free pattern page. "Smokey Mountain Stars". Bonnie is Amazing. You can find my progress here if you would like to take a peek. http://thegirlfriendgap.blogspot.com/2015/05/taking-old-and-making-it-new.html

I told you you could DO IT! Can't wait to see what is next up for getting worked on. Maybe a Scrap Squad REVEAL?

Yippee!! How satisfying it is to use stash and get some batting chunks and fabric chunks out of the way! Love it.

It looks great and you must feel so happy it's not only donne but you used all your stash to make it. Kudos to you!

A fun, fun finish! This quilt makes me smile--such happy colors sprinkled around, like confetti!
Lame label--no, no, no! That is how I label all my quilts. By the time I get to the label I am out of energy to be clever. I slap that triangle in the corner and pat myself on the back for having labeled it! : )

I recognize that block. It sure made up into a fun quilt.

Great job. I have done this quilt too and I just finished putting the border on it and it will be quilted soon. I used scraps in mine too except I had to purchase fabric for the border and backing. Good for you for finishing this up. Your quilt looks great.
