I started making glitter blocks in 2017. Two of my quilting buddies started theirs at the same time. They finished a while ago. Glitter is a Jen Kingwell pattern from her Quilt Lovely book.
I made it a part of my 5 quilts in early 2024 and had it ready to quilt in April. It has been on the list to quilt and now it is a finished UFo. I wanted to try something a bit more eclectic. I used different backgrounds and combinations than I usually gravitate to using. I used a template set that was fiddley and I finally found my groove for piecing. Everything was from scraps I had.

What a wonderful scrappy final finish, Maggie!!! Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Very impressive. I would have been tempted to redraft the block in order to avoid all those Y seams. Fiddley is an understatement, but you make it look easy.
ReplyDeleteWow! A very fun finish. I remember when you started this one, hard to believe it's been that long ago.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing quilt! I love all the scrappy goodness.
ReplyDeleteGlitter looks like a fidgety pattern. You did a great job with yours. It's a wonderful collection of scraps; so much fun to look at. Congrats on getting it finished. Enjoy! ;^)

ReplyDeleteYour Glitter quilt turned out fabulous, Maggie! I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish, kudos to you for sticking with it with all those Y seams!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of little piecing. It's a very cool design. Good grief - are those all Y seams?!? This is a terrific quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt! I know you had problems piecing this but you stuck with it and the result is so pretty! Congratulations on another great finish. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

ReplyDeleteFantastic finish, Maggie! I love this. Glad you got your groove on and was able to finish it. I think I would have thrown it away with all those Y seams! Great job! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!
