FAL goal #3

This was just a flimsy(quilt top) at the beginning of Quarter 1-it was one of my seven  goals to get finished. I managed to get it quilted and bound and will be entered into the FAL when it goes live at the end of the quarter.  Linking up with Oh Scrap and Freemotion by the River.

This quilt was all made with scraps except for the solid tan. It feels great to get a quilt made for almost free!! I made up the design as I went according to the size of scrap strings I had in the bin. I was aiming for a nice lap size quilt and that is what I ended up with ;-)  The quilting is all freehand free motion. The binding is made with leftover greens also. This one will be another donation quilt.








I will leave you this little guy to gaze at, it's a daily occurrence of several coming through our yard.


Stay tuned for this QBL(quilting blog land) hop. Link at the top of left side bar! It starts Feb 9th.

  1. It's funny how I can pick your quilts by the colors you use! That is a great way to use scraps with the different size columns. And your quilting is fantastic!

  9. Beautiful quilting. I did not realize you were such a accomplished quilter. Obviously I'm not spending enough time on my machine. So off I go.

  16. Looks awesome. Love the quilting, what batting did you use, looks like wonderful definition. Is that a free hand all over quilt pattern or is that a pantograph. I was trying to find repeat but wasn't able to, love the quilting. Great quilt.
