Work In Progress

My first quilt for 2009. I had Moda's Cotton Blossom jelly roll laying around, and I decide it was time to pick it up and get cutting. I saw this beautiful quilt on Beaty Family Fun's Flickr page and was inspired! I decided to throw caution to the wind and create a quilt with no pattern. It looked easy enough, yet with my little background in quilting I was still a little nervous.



My beautiful strips sewn and ready to cut. (It was so beautiful out that day as you can see the sunshine coming through the window).



Strips together with white sashing. I wasn't sure whether to use white or cream...I think I made the right choice.


The center is complete!! I just randomly choice which strip sets to cut and connect.

Aren't those colours beautiful! Now all I have to complete is the checked border, back, bind and quilt! I planned to hopefully complete the quilt top today but Old Man Winter is raging on us and my laundry drain is frozen...so while my husband deals with a flooded laundry room, I'm going to go lock myself in my sewing room.

This is so pretty! I have the same fabric and part of it is a quilt in progress. Other things got in the way and it was set aside. Your post reminds me to get back to it. You are quite creative. I am not so brave as to go without a pattern.

Visiting this quilt again! I was going through FLICKR tonight and saw it again and now it is in my FAVES. :D I am going to go through your blog and see if you posted a picture of it all finished. Can you tell me what size it was all said and done? Did you use the full width of the strips in the quilt center? LOL - I already had the quilt that inspired you in my faves!

Yay! I just saw your completed quilt on Flickr and feel SO COOL that you used my little made-up quilt pattern for inspiration! It came out FAB! Awesome job :)
