Scrap Quilt......

Yayyyyy, I have finished my first "proper" quilt....this one is a scrap quilt in that I have used pieces I already had for the blocks, I only bought fabric for the backing and sashes, and wadding, so I don't know if it really is a "scrap" quilt. The pattern/instructions came from crazymomquilts ~ flea market fancy quilt. It was my first attempt at a real quilt, and apart from one "crazy" moment and two rows not lining up, I'm really happy with how it has turned out. I didn't get the courage to stipple quilt it, I REALLY want to, but I can't/haven't got the hang of it yet.....I just ditch stitched around each square including the inside square. I made the binding from bits all joined together.

My next challenge will be a coin quilt of some description.

Thank you crazymomquilts ~ you're great inspiration !!

    still doing the current beginners course. am the unfortunate loser of the class that is often saying "uh oh" under my breath. my log cabin squares are flawless but the others are at times a bit haphazard :-P
