I finished my quilt top yesterday, as part of the Warm Cool Quilt Along over at In Color Order. I had some triangles left over from another project, so I didn’t even have to cut any fabric out (lucky me). The fabrics are Amy Butler Soul Blossoms (with a few extra pink fabrics thrown in). I made the ‘Baby’ sized quilt. I did have enough fabrics to make the ‘Mini’, which is the next size up, but I had many more ‘cool’ colored (green, blue) triangles than ‘warm’ colored triangles (orange, red, pink), so I stuck with this size.
The quilt top took me 3 hours to make. If I would have had to cut triangles, it would probably take a couple hours longer. My triangles were slightly bigger (4.5″) than the quilt along instructions called for (3″), so my quilt top is about 34″x34″ as opposed to the 20″x20″ in the instructions.
This was a very well-organized sew along…there were tons of helpful posts along the way, and the diagrams to sew up the quilts were really awesome!
I’m going to spray baste and quilt it tonight, and I was wondering…what can I use this for? I was thinking either a wall hanging or maybe an area rug or kitchen floor mat? What can I put on the bottom to make it non-slip?
Won’t it be hard to see a quilt that you made stepped on? That would be my hang up!
so pretty!
It’s so pretty! Love when you can use leftovers from another project, any way to avoid more cutting! 😉
So glad to hear that things were easy to follow! That’s the goal! 🙂
It looks great! I love the colors!
this is beautiful!!! i wish i had some non slip advice for you
SO cute! I’m doing this QAL too and using lots of soul blossoms as well. Great job!
Oh so pretty! How about using it as a table topper on top of a table cloth or just as is?
I would just cut some shelf liner (http://www.amazon.com/Duck-1100731-Non-Adhesive-12-Inch-20-Square-Feet/dp/B002AS9NAI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1309451725&sr=8-2) to put underneath. Or you can find stuff specifically to put under rugs, but since this would be a small rug, I would just go w/the shelf liner.
I really like how the pattern shows up with the cools and hots. Nice looking quilt.
It looks so pretty!! This is on my list to do, now just to find the time!
sooooooooooo pretty! 🙂 What about a dining room table topper??
Oooh, pretty! What a great fabric line for a warm/cool quilt.
So lovely! Such a happy quilt.
oo, love how this looks with soul blossoms – I don’t think I have seen many in this QAL made with mostly a single fabric line. Very cool!
Would Jiffy Grip work? It’s the fabric that’s sold for the bottoms of slippers.
