I mixed the brown scraps with blues to make 12" rail fence blocks.
These scraps are the leftovers from 6 (7?) blue and brown quilts I've sewn.
Then I added strips of blue cotton chambray thrifted sheets on the side, with some more scrap bits.
The quilting shows beautifully on the back.
The finished quilt is 72" x 100". It will shrink several inches on washing, and still be a generously sized extra-long twin.
mmm...such a manly color combo. makes me wanna growl. grrrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the chambray with these fabrics.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeletethat's absolutely the best excuse for have no brown scraps. the piecing is fabulous, and your quilting is amazing. that's one very lucky nephew that you have.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - and so cool! Blue and brown is one of my favorite color combos and yours looks really fresh with the chambray. I like to piece the backs of my quilts too, usually in a "coins" layout. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat combination and what a superb way to use up scrap fabrics - I'm sure your nephew will love it
ReplyDeleteI do love brown, especially with blue. The colours are so deep and delicious
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors and I love the chambray. I know it'll be well loved!
