Another finish to report. The quilt I made for our wedding, on our bed for (cough, cough) years, was showing wear. Therefore I made a replacement Anniversary quilt, featuring some of the same fabrics (yes my stash has many long-lived fabrics in it!) I used Bonnie Hunter's pattern called Crayon box - one of the free patterns on her website.
Gray in the centers of the blocks to calm it down, but it's a busy pattern. Below, a view of a portion of the quilt.
A grayish batik for the border. This was quilted by a local long-arm quilter. I picked a pattern of swirls with hearts, and she did a great job.
A close up of the quilt and border:
Now onto my next project: a retro 1940's pattern that involves cutting pieces from templates, no rotary cutting.

Isn't it funny the many styles quilters have? Two of my sisters also quilt, one likes floral vintage looking fabrics such as the reproductions. I call her a victorian quilter. The other...lets just say the louder, the flashier the colors the better. Me, I like more muted colors which are a little trickier to find but when I do find them I go overboard on my purchase. Our quilts reflect our personalities. Congrats on the anniversary and thank you for linking up with Put your foot down.
Great scrappy quilt and extra special with fabrics from the past.
Congrats on a fabulous replacement quilt!!
Happy Anniversary! What a wonderful scrap collection!
Great quilt! I like the grey squares you added
Love this block! Perfect for scraps. Beautifully done. :)
