I decided to use a FQ bundle I'd splurged on (whoops!) back in July. I would tell you the name of the fabrics but I lost the sticker I took off the package. It was something incredibly non-descript like "Fat Quarter Bundle #8," and I only purchased it because there was a ladybug on one of the fabrics.
I finished the top and pieced the back in one weekend. It went on hold for a bit while I was out of town but I was able to get it sandwiched, quilted and bound this week. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I will definitely make this quilt again, though I may start with slightly bigger squares (if I have yardage vs. fat quarters... I was afraid I wouldn't have enough fabric if I went any bigger).
I didn't have much fabric left from my FQs after making the front, but I did want to piece in my leftovers on the back. There was one more (purple-ish) fabric in the bundle that I didn't use on either side of the quilt, but I'm sure I'll put that to good use soon enough.
This quilt doesn't have a home yet, but making a quilt "just because" makes me feel more brave with practicing my FMQ. I still have a lot to learn, but I can see my progress with every quilt. Yay!

Cute! Nice job finishing it so fast as well as using up some stash fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeleteLove the "floating" squares and my eye went right to that ladybug fabric. Lucky little girl that gets this quilt. XOXO
ReplyDeleteGreat job! so pretty and I love ladybugs too. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt. I make quilts all the time just to quilt them :) It is great practice and eventually there is a need for a donation quilt, shower gift, something. Love your fabrics from your fat quarter bundle. Front and back look wonderful
ReplyDeleteVery pretty quilt, and great job on the free motion quilting. I am too scared to try it! :)
ReplyDeletewell you just got right out and "did it"....Wow and it turned out so cute. Your FMQ looks good.
ReplyDeleteThat's a sweet quilt. Your FMQ looks great!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable quilt. I love this pattern...will have to try to figure it out in my sewing room too. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's very lovely, I adore the ladybirds! Slightly jealous as my machine is all packed up ready to go back for a service, so no sewing for a week - how ever will I cope?? Good job we're going on holiday in a fortnight:)
ReplyDeleteKat, that's a wonderful quilt! I've bookmarked it myself, because it looks like it would make a fun and easy baby quilt. Whoop whoop!!
ReplyDeleteIt is adorable. Love those lady bugs.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out just adorable, Kat! Love the way you backed it, and the quilting is perfect. Just looks so sweet and cozy. So glad you were inspired by my quilts. I've been sort of slacking in the blogging department, so you really made my day. Maybe I'll get blog-inspired in return! lol
