Another scrappy wedding quilt


Another beautiful wedding quilt, still in progress. This one is made by my friend Terry for her niece Candice. It's called "Every Which Way" from Quiltmaker, July/August 2003, p.48-52. Terry was determined to use up scraps, but says this huge king sized top barely made a dent in her scrap basket. Isn't this top great? She's putting a white border around the whole thing, and then sending it out to be custom quilted.

Very nice! I do love a scrappy quilt. Isn't it amazing that the scrap bag always stays full no matter how many scrap quilts we make?

What a great design to use scraps. It has so many different colors but repeated just enough to make it cohesive.

HELP ME!!

I've stared at this for 15 minutes, and can't find the blocks / sashing. Just when I think I've found it ... it moves! Okay, it doesn't MOVE, but I see something connected where it shouldn't be if the block is what I thought it was. [I hope that makes sense].

This is a Wonderful Quilt! How beautiful. . . . and inspiring. This just might be going on my list to do.
Amazing how those scraps are resistant to being used up! The level of mine never goes down, even if I haven't "fluffed" lately!

Really charming, and so much patience to sew all of those triangles

I like the colors she used in that beautiful scrap quilt. It is busy with all the colors, but it all plays together well. Wonderful pattern. Does it have a name? It is so scrumptious. The more I look at it, the more I drool!
