weekend of wips :)


well here it is . my quilt of wips and orphan blocks. i'm rather pleased with it. :) the top 8 squares were from a quilt a long on line. i never did get all the blocks back. oh well. then the tumbler section i just wanted to try and that's all i did.


the section with the twelve squares was another idea i saw online and never seemed to finish it and the last section are the poor orphan blocks that i wanted to do a quilt with - made a block and then seemed to move on. to be honest i think i really like this quilt. it's definately different - but i guess i'm different :)


the backing is from connecting threads as you can see. :) it looked a little different online but i really like it and it has all the colors in it. it was 2.96 a yard. i LOVE connecting threads. if you haven't stopped by there yet i encourage you to do so! :) have a great night!!

  5. Such a cute idea for a quilt. You did a really nice job on the placement of the different blocks. I have heard about Connecting Threads from some of my friends. Thanks for the reminder to check it out.
