How did you quilt this? It appears to be 1 inch width straight lines horizontally & random straight lines vertically? Right?

I absolutely love this! I think I may do this with my scraps and pieces I'm not totally satisfied with. Just not quite the small scale that you tackled ;)

Ok now . . . you really need to be entering your quilts into shows or competitions or whatever it takes to get your talent recognized. Do you have any idea how creative and talented you are! Amazing . . . just amazing!

I think this is amazing. My sister is making a quilt for DH & me and this is inspiring me to not keep it simple and ask for something with lots and lots of colors!

My Life In Quilts (23 months ago | reply)
I love this scrappy quilt. I like to make fabric as well, and then cut it up to use in a quilt. It's not insane, I hope, but it is a good use of fabric! Once, I was making my daughter a costume for a play and made a drastic mistake on the vest, leaving not enough material. What to do? I didn't have time to go buy some more, so, I made some log cabin blocks of the same color and tone, and created a beautiful vest. I am going to dig it out of storage someday and post it as an example of what you can create in a PANIC!
