Another Scrap-Happy Day!

Another topper down!  This one was fast and easy…maybe because the scrappy nine patch blocks were found on the Share Table at Heritage!!  What a great find! 

**FYI…Whenever the members of the Heritage Guild have something ‘quilty’ that they no longer want, use or need they put it on the Heritage Share Table.   Then anyone can buy it in the form of a donation…the $$ is put into a can and later donated to our favourite charity!…We usually collect about $300 every 3 or 4 months! It’s a quick and fun way to raise money for charity and a great way to re-cycle quilty stuff…a win, win for everyone!!  And in this case I won BIG time!

SEW…I added the beige blocks with the nine patches, set them on-point …

…and then added a scrappy hand appliquéd vine, leaves and flower border!

Hope you like!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a wonderful, scrap-happy day too!~P

    Beautiful quilt, and the applique borders make it even lovelier. I'm always a fan of scrappy quilts.

    This quilt is gorgeous. Lucky you to have picked up those blocks. I'm a big fan of anything scrappy, and the appliqued border ties it all together.

    Nicely done Paulette, how big is it? Will you add any more borders and will you utility quilt is, long arm or traditional hand quilting? So many choices.

    Great quilt, what a fast way to get a quilt done. Are you keeping it or will it be a gift?

    This is a very lovely quilt. I too love scrappy and have just sent one to the quilter. The applique really finishes it nicely. Have a great day!

    That's lovely SP, and the appliqued border just frames it all beautifully.

    What a lucky "find." I love 9-patches and the appliqué on the border is lovely.
