By the end of 2017, I had all the parts ready for making my holy Toledo quilt. I added it to my 5 quilt project in May of this year. I discovered that the borders were neither cut or sewn. Still, I wanted to add that to my quilt finish. I have worked on it at open sews and friday group. There are 990 hsts for this quilt. All of it is made with recycled shirt fabric. I found this pattern in Bonnie Hunter's book scraps and shirttails 2. I am very pleased with how it turned out.

ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome finish! Holy Toledo is aptly named. . .as in holy Toledo, there are a lot of pieces in those blocks!!!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteIt’s wonderful! I have an extensive thrifted shirt collection and this quilt just maybe the next pattern I do with them. Your collection must be pretty big too as you have a huge variety of colors and patterns :)
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing. Very nice job. Do you have the number of all the pieces. Or is 990 the total number of hsts? Either way, I can't imagine making that many hsts. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the quilt! Isn't it wonderful that Bonnie's patterns can adapt to any combination of fabrics, bringing them all together so beautifully? :-)
ReplyDeleteEek - all those little pieces certainly scream Bonnie Hunter. What a wonderful quilt!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing off all those HSTs. It's a fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteHoly Toledo is a great name for this quilt! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteJust love your Holy Toledo? ( Spain or Ohio) I really like this pattern and especially how you made it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so inviting to snuggle under. Congratulations on the finish. Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteWow, a true master piece! That's a lot of HST's ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous finish! I love the name, Holy Toledo! I admire folks who do scrap quilting, I am not so good at it. Many thanks for linking up to TGIFF!
