The Gathering Quilt is Finished

Posted on July 26, 2020October 23, 2020

I started making my steps blocks in March when COVID was rampant here. I needed something to keep myself busy that didn’t require too much thought and these blocks were perfect.

The first quilt I made from these can be seen here  That quilt went together very nicely and was fun to finish.

The second quilt top I made from those blocks I called the Gathering Quilt.

I enjoyed making the quilt top.

I decided to quilt this one at home despite it being a bit bigger than I normally like to tackle on my home sewing machine.  Seriously, I just couldn’t see spending the money to rent long arm studio time for this quilt given it was all made of scraps and not *that* large. In retrospect, I should have spent the money on the long arm rental. I would have saved myself much time and aggrevation going from a quilt top to a finished quilt.  If it could go wrong it did. It was just that sort of project.

It does look pretty cute, however, when you look at it from a distance.

 

You can see some of the issues i had in the cross-hatching in the picture. However,  it is what it is and it’s not being re-done. My seam ripper is on strike and I’m happy to call this done. I’m sure once I’m a bit more removed from the process I’ll be happier with this quilt.

    I love how bright your scraps are. I have so many darker fabric scraps that they seldom look bright, cute or anything other than blah. Or so I think. Once the quilt is washed you won’t see any problems with it! Yea for a finish, right?

    It’s ADORABLE! Your colour combination is glorious. I can’t believe that you quilted this on your home sewing machine. Your stitching lines are consistently distanced from each other. What a feat!

    Your quilt is a lovely play on the Nine Patch — especially with that light blue background fabric. It really makes the colors pop! Beautiful finish!

    What a lovely, lovely quilt! The sky blue background is perfect, and the riotous group of colors makes just a happy quilt. Once the quilt is washed and all crinkled (as we love in all our quilts) you will forget any imperfections (which I didn’t see, anyway), and just love it. Besides, as I always tell myself, only God makes perfect, and the rest of us just do the best we can (which in my case is often far from perfect!) Beautiful finish…..

    I have been seeing this quilt over and over and it is so beautiful! I was wondering if you happen to have a pattern for it? Thanks for taking the time to read this. Bonnie
