I finished up this quilt top recently and I absolutely love it!!

Not sure I will ever make another quilt with so many 2 inch (finished) squares but I'm so glad I did this one with my gorgeous Denyse Schmidt fabric collection.

Every Flea Market Fancy fabric is featured as well as some of the newest collection from Joann's / Spotlight. Also, because I needed to put in some more red, I added one print from the Katie Jump Rope line (the Red Daisies).

I started hand quilting this on Saturday and I'm loving the process so much I'm already half way. No doubt by this time next week (probably sooner) I'll be blogging about a finished quilt.

Can't wait to pop it on the bed.

Stunning. I've got a bow I'm storing 2 inch squares in for a quilt.....one day. yours looks great.

Marit said...

Love your quilt top, Andi - it just glows. I wish I had the courage to cut into my small stash of FMF. Some fabric takes a lot of courage to cut into...
; )

Wow! It's great.

kimland said...

I am in awe, this is one of those quilts I can stare @ for hours. Did you know where you were going with this quilt from the start or did you have a bunch of 2" squares and decided to see where they would take you? I have been hoarding my FMF for just the right project and hoping to stretch it as far as it will go. She is a beauty!

wow wow wow! This is an amazing quilt and I'm always wondering what to do with my stash of this...I however would lose my mind sewing that many little squares together.

Unknown said...

It's so cool!
I can't believe you have already hand quilted half of it.

meli B said...

2" squares is a major effort. It was totally worth it though. The colours are brilliant.

Kristy said...

That is breathtaking!!! Really! Amazing!

be still my heart

Caroline said...

Oh my, your skill is amazing! Really. Love. It.

Live a Colorful Life said...

Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful way to showcase DS fabrics for sure!

Rachel said...

It looks amazing! Did you piece all the squares individually or strip piece them?

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful! Lots of movement and the colors are so cheerful!

amy smart said...

This is AH-MAZING!! Love it.

Deb Robertson Writes said...

That is so bright and beautiful, it makes it really worth it doesn't it when you use fabrics you love!

Margo said...

wow, it's absolutely stunning! I just came across it on Pinterest and pinned it again. I've made a few scrap quilts, but I can't figure out how you would piece something like this. What's the trick? Strip piecing? (which I have never done, only heard about). I'd love to plow through my scraps and make such a pretty quilt.

Frances Rosenblum said...

I just found you and you rock. I'm going to try this quilt I love all the color's. I have so many scraps.....So hear I go!
