Design Wall Monday 1/27/14--Finished Top!

Instead of a design wall, today I have a "design bed" to show my finished Scrappy Sampler quilt top! I completed the top last night too late to get any outdoor photos, and it is too big to hang on my wall.


Autumn Scrappy Sampler
80" x 100"
This quilt was started just over a year ago as a block-of-the-month project at one of my favorite local quilt shops, Intown Quilters in Decatur, GA. Many of the other BOM participants were making their quilt from a kit of the same fabrics as the sample quilt, which were very bright batiks. Below is a shot of the BOM sample. As you can see, mine went in a very different direction as far as color palette.




I am so thrilled to have this quilt top together and can't wait to get it quilted! Finishing this top also means I achieved my January goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes. That's a good way to get the year started. Now to figure out what project to work on next. I'm sure there must be a project or two (or twenty!) that I could pull out.


I am linking up to Design Wall Monday at Patchwork Times. Check it out for tons of amazing ideas and inspiration. I am also linking in to BOMs Away Monday at What a Hoot.

  5. It's gorgeous! So glad to see it again because I had forgotten whose quilt had the bowtie border which I wanted to put in my "idea" file.

  7. Your colors and rich and Happy. that is a very interesting outside border for a quilt. I need to think Open spaces and not so tight. This looks good.

  16. Congrats on the finish! It's beautiful. I'm usually a big fan of brights, but I think your palette works much better with the pattern. I
