The scrappy brick flimsy is now a full fledged quilt! A quick all over larger stipple on the longarm made this move along fast. A tan Signature thread called Mother Goose was used. I finished it off with a burgundy print binding.
The backing was a pre printed panel that I cut apart and added the larger strips of tan muslin in two vertical rows and one horizontal row in the middle to make it big enough.

The panel was given to me a few years ago, I am glad to finally have put it to good use. I was pleased to see I was able to come very close to centering the top on the backing. This is donation quilt #four for 2025
The other scrappy project has moved along also. The blocks are all made, now it is time to sew them all together. The two borders have been planned also. It's good to use some scraps-it's like making a free quilt, almost!

Both your scrappy quilts are so pretty! Love that panel as backing.
ReplyDeleteOf course you centered the front and back! You are just that good, Vicki. I love both projects.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt back of panel squares is too sweet; it deserved to be a quilt all its own.
ReplyDeletethat is a neat backing for that quilt - like two quilts in one, if one gets tired of one side just flip it over. Must have been hard to center it
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! The Scrappy Bricks is a really good scrap buster. Love how the string blocks are looking too.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it feel good to finally use a print that's been in the stash a long, long time? I like both the bricks and the sort-of coins.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to wrap up a week! Both projects look great, and a fun use for that panel!
ReplyDeleteThose are both so cozy looking, Vicki - they say "Fall!" I love how you used the panel for the backing, too - great idea. You are on a roll with finishes lately!
ReplyDeleteBoth are great scrap quilts and the panel backing looks awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteYou centered that backing PERFECTLY!
ReplyDeleteYou are making great strides. I love that you took a panel apart and augmented so it fit your top. My stash is getting a bit out of control these days. (And yet, when I looked for something today I didn't have exactly what I needed. -- I will not be buying it either!) Keep up the charity quilts...you are inspiring me.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you used that panel on the back, nice job! The scrappy front is vibrant and fun! Love seeing your progress on the other scrappy project, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty donation quilt! And good job centering the back! I especially love those scrappy blocks.
ReplyDeleteLove how you stretched the panel into a back! Those are two wonderful project! I agree with Diann as I immediately thought Autumn colors!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
