One more ready to quilt

I finished the blue crumb/mile-a-minute quilt top this weekend!

 

I'm really please with how this one turned out. It wen't together really quickly. My crumb blocks are cut at 9" square. I set them on point and 4 blue corners. Those were cut from 6 7/8" squares cut once on the diagonal. 

 

 It will be a long time before it's quilted but I'm pretty sure I want to quilt it with dark gold (color, not metallic) thread. I had about 12 extra blocks so I decided to set them in some left over gold fabrics. It's not the pretties back but it got some fabrics out of my stash for a change......and it's the back.

 So, here it is, with the binding, all ready to be quilted.......later.

I love scrappy quilts. You bind before you quilt??

Looks great! Way to use up stash!

I really like the way you set the blocks. Nice!

This is one great looking quilt! I might just have to try one of these on a quilting get-a-way in early october. Is it your pattern?

[Cherie Moore]

I've been particularly taken with this quilt and love the finished top. My problem is I can't put my finger on what it is that I'm so drawn to....I think it's the blue/gold combo but when I look at the blocks individually there really isn't all that much gold. I just know I like it :)

I really like the zigzag setting. I will have to remember that. I usually just do straight sets...and I get bored with that!B

Beautiful, Vicki - I like how you have used the dark navy to make the rest of the blocks stand out!

[Debra]

I see a few of these in my future too- they look fun to sew and I definitely have the scraps.

I love yours with the dark blue.

[Debbie St.Germain]

I love how that came out and the blue shade. Setting on point really gives it a whole new look. Can't wait to see how you quilt it.

Very nice! Are you going to get fancy quilting in that solid blue with your gold thread?

[Dawn]

Oh I do like how it turned out!

[helen-mary]

Good for you! My m-a-m blocks are driven to and from sewing day at the guild every month. One day I hope to actually WORK on them. My sashing is red.

Truly wonderful, Vicki!

[Jackie]

Beautiful!! Isn't it fun to get the tops done. But like you I have so many that need to get quilted.

I really like the way this turned out especially the zig zag look of the navy fabric. Great job Vicki! I have so many scraps so maybe I will have to borrow your idea to try and use mine up. I need to make the family xmas quilt out of my mom's stash that is left and this would be a great way of using up all those very small pieces I have been hanging on to.
