Leftover quilt

My daughter and I took the scraps from my Tradewinds quilt and designed this leftover extra-long throw.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Men

Style: Traditional


Materials

Leftover fabrics from my Tradewinds quilt.

What was your inspiration?

I had so many scraps left over from my Tradewinds quilt and wanted to use them up in a creative throw. My husband is tall and this was tailor made for him as a Christmas present.

What are you most proud of?

Working out a design with my daughter.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

If you love scrappy quilts, take a good look at your leftovers and see what you can come up with.

I LOVE this! Beautiful quilting on lovely fabrics and such a creative pattern! You and your daughter should be very proud! Looks like you used a variety of strip pieced cuts in a fantastic design. You have inspired me! :)

It is very rewarding to work on a project with my creative daughter. Many of the pieces were already sewn in strips of two or three and cut at an angle from Trade Winds, so we had to use what we had. The quilt ended being done in vertical rows as opposed to traditional horizontal rows. Glad to have young eyes to see new ways to doing the thing that I love- quilting!
