I was super lucky to win a copy of the book "No Scrap Left Behind" by Amanda Jean Nyberg. I have followed her blog, Crazy Mom Quilts, for years, and knew this book would be a good one. I was right! I could make every quilt in the book.
Amanda hosted a quilt along for one of the quilts in her book -- "June." Maybe I should call mine October since I used all orange scraps. I used Shot Cotton for the background. It is so soft. I have made one other quilt out of shot cotton and that is my boys' favorite (even if it is mostly purple.)
I wanted it to be very soft, so I didn't quilt it very densely (and because I don't have the patience for dense quilting.) A few straight lines through the orange/brown and a loop in the background. I love it. It's going to be a soft, comfy blanket for the fall.

Here's the back -- yellow chambray and an orange Denyse Schmidt print, both from my stash.
I am linking up to the same Crazy Mom Quilts Finish it up Friday.
Amanda, I hope you see this! I don't do instagram so I haven't posted.
Thanks for the quilt along, and for the fun book!
This was on my list of goals for the Finish-a-Long.
I am linking up to the Finish-a-Long party at She Can Quilt.
LOVE your orange version of Amanda's June QAL!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I know some people don't love orange, but I sure do. :)
DeleteWhat great fall colors. Wonderful quilt!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It has been fun to see the variety of quilts in the QAL.
DeleteLove your color choices! I hope you consider linking up some of your posts to Oh Scrap! On Sundays. I know my readers would love to see some of your scrappy quilts.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I didn't know about your Oh Scrap! party. I will have to check it out. I do love scrappy quilts.
DeleteI think this is beautiful! I love the colours you have chosen too, perfect for a boy (mine would love this). On behalf of the 2017 global FAL hosts, thank you for participating in this quarter's finish along.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have 3 boys, so maybe that's one reason I tend toward boy colors -- orange, blue, and green. :) Thanks for your support of the FAL.
DeleteI LOVE this one - love the brightness and pattern. So cute!
