Go Four It!

My Go Four It! quilt top is done!  Whew!!

This pattern came from the April edition of American Patchwork and Quilting.

It is put together with just 2 different blocks set on point, some setting triangles and a scrappy border.  The blocks are made up of 4-patches and squares. It took 162 blocks.  That is a lot of blocks.

Once I got them all laid out I added the triangles and started sewing rows. Nesting all of those little seams took some time, but it really kept all of those little pieces in line.

Here it is before the borders went on. I just love all of those bright colors!

 
This was a fantastic stash buster.  But somehow my scrap piles don't seem any smaller.  Amazing how that works.

The back side of the quilt.  Lots and lots of seams...

These shots were taken outside in the last few intense rays of sunlight.  It kinda washed out all of the low volume fabrics making them disappear.

A closer view...

Playing with low volume and two flimsy finishes.

Good Morning!  I have lots of goodies to share today...

First up, a small low volume sample for our LQS.  Cyndi, the owner of the store wanted a little sample to show customers how to incorporate low volume fabrics into their quilts. I volunteered.  A quick little scrappy quilt is always fun and gratifying.

Here is a picture before I tacked down the binding.  (I forgot to take one after, oops)

Please excuse the terrible picture taken with my phone. 

This was made with 44  5-inch squares of low volume fabric as the background.
The stars are made from scraps; a 5-inch square and leftover triangles from other projects. 
It is bound with a grey and white dot.
Quick and fun.

I was also able to finish up a couple of quilt tops.

First up is my quilt top for the Irish Chain Twist Quilt Along over at Happy Quilting.

I got all of my blocks and rows sewn together, now to decide how to quilt it.  Any suggestions?

The colors turned out great together.  So springy, don't you think?  I just LOVE the green!!

And finally I finished up my delectable mountains quilt.  The fabrics are just so fun together.

This started with a few pieces from Urban Chicks that I just fell in love with.  Hello feathers! And the rest came from my stash.  Yay for stash busting!

This quilt makes me happy.  I have always been drawn to scrap quilts, so busy quilts like this that mix together fabrics from all over just make me smile.

Have a great day!
