patchwork obsession: part 21


The house of girls quilt is complete.

This is a total scrap quilt. I took two pieces of pretty fabric and sewed them together, pressed, added another piece of pretty fabric, pressed, on and on. It was a lot of fun to piece using this method. I have never done a whole quilt this way before, but I plan on trying it again.

Roxanne, do you recognize these fabrics?

The quilt is a lap size: 52" x 65".

I thought the quilting added a nice texture to this flower.

This was the first time I used a thrifted vintage sheet for the backing.
I probably won't do it again-I much prefer pieced backs.
Although the colors in this sheet match the front perfectly.
This is going to my friend who has 4 girls.
It's her belated birthday gift.
I'm only a month late on this one.
