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.

    I think I made this quilt years ago... or one very similar to it!! It was a fun quilt to make. Yours is just beautiful. It has been fun to watch your progress on this and now it is complete! Nicely done.

    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.

    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.

    I love these quilts. I, myself, have left a lot of money at Intown Quilters! Made one of their kits for a Christmas present! I just love samplers. I don't get bored.

    Very pretty! I like your earth-tone version, it looks much more coordinated than the original.

    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
