I began this 4 patch x in January 2016. It's a bonnie Hunter pattern from her book more adventures with leaders and enders. I enjoyed the piecing, especially the 4 patches. There is something classic about random 4 patches made from scraps. I love yellow as a color, so, I had no trouble going with the same color scheme as Bonnie.

I used a vintage calico for the binding. Using something like that makes me smile. I know it was vintage, as it was only 36 inches wide. I used a left edge foot, and, attached the binding by machine. I had a 100% cotton sheet the right size for the back. I can't seem to quilt up the pile of waiting to be quilted. As soon as I quilt one, I recount, and, there is the same number. sigh.....

LOL! Do the quilts multiply in your stash? As always, another beautiful finish from your talented hands. Thanks for linking up with TGIFF today!
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty and a good use of the vintage border fabric. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteFabulous scrappy finish, Maggie!!
ReplyDeletewhat a beauty!!!
ReplyDeleteI like Bonnie Hunter quilts too! This one is smashing with the red binding next to the outer yellow! It sings!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun isn't it making four-patches randomly. You just have to cut a lot and then sew until they're all used up. I like the modified churn dash worked into the sashing. It's altogether a lovely finish.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful quilt! One of these day's I need to try attaching a binding completely by machine.
ReplyDeleteSweet finish and beautiful as well.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty one, Maggie! The yellow does stand out in it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another finish no matter how many are left. I actually love those vintage calicos. I never have much success with sewing bindings down by machine. They always look like they have been sewn down by machine! But some places where I donate request they be sewn down by machine so I do comply.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt. I love your choice of binding, just perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful scrappy finish. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
