How lovely it is to start seeing my shelf with all my tops dwindling. A year ago, there were two shelves holding tops (with their backing fabric). Now, I'm down to one shelf. A huge improvement to say the least. Bonus .... I'm using these quilts instead of just admiring them now and then.
Scrappy Bargello (free pattern by Bonnie Hunter). The layout is different. It was fun to play around with the blocks until this look was achieved.
Started: Sept. 3, 2013
Top finished: Nov. 11, 2013
Quilt finished: May 12, 2018
Quilt size: 63-1/2" x 88-1/4" (65-1/2" x 91" before quilting, washing and drying)
Batting: 80/20 poly/cotton
Back in 2013, I was on the program committee for my day guild and I needed to demo a block. This was my choice. So easy to do and a great way to use up scraps. It didn't take too long to finish this top. Instead of being an overall scrappy quilt, my fabrics were chosen carefully for a more controlled quilt.
Machine quilted by my friend Tella in Scarborough. What a lovely job she did AGAIN!
There are still a few more quilts that need binding and my hands are itching to get another one started. The road to our cottage is open now and a quilt on my lap in the mornings and evenings will be most welcome.
Have a great stitching day!

Well done on making such a dent in your flimsy pile - something I need to concentrate on I think! Your Bargello is beautiful..good that you are able to enjoy your quilts now rather than just admire them :-)
Oh - that's a great quilt, and I am looking forward to admiring it too!
I'm sure it feels great to have the pile of quilts waiting to be finshed dwindling. Your latest finish is delightful.
Nice design layout and quilting
