I finished my flea market fancy quilt, and I LOVE it a lot. Just simple squares, 3 inches each, randomly sewed together--I literally drew each square out of a bag, the only adjusting I did was to make sure that nothing exactly the same was next to each other.
It's a good lap size, measuring 52 x 66 inches.
I quilted straight lines about 1/4 inch from each seam.
I almost pieced together more of my hoarded flea market fancy stash for the back, but decided to save it instead. I used some cake rock beach and sandi henderson in green instead.
I'm pretty sure green is my favorite color, it seems to be my go to color in a colorful quilt-- when I'm not sure what to use.
for now we'll use it as a picnic blanket, it's just too hot to sit under it. I'm so happy to finally have all these prints in a quilt.

It's really quite pretty. I love the boldness of it all together!
Wow. All the FMF fabrics together are just amazing! I do think the green's my fave too.
That is an amazingly beautiful quilt. Using the same line insures that the fabrics all flow together, and they do!
It's so amazing!!!! I love it so much!
Oooh I love the simple design to show off all that FMF goodness. And the cake rock green was a wonderful backing choice. Congrats of having FMF out of the stash and into your everyday life!
I really, really love it!
This is fabulous. I love it!
I'm drooling over this quilt. It is beautiful. LOVE it!

Truly gorgeous!!
That really is gorgeous!
ooh, that is beautiful. Have been trying to work out what the perfect size for a random square quilt is, and you have showed me, thank you v much!
this is so absolutely gorgeous!
I love this quilt. This is maybe the nicest quilt I have seen with Flea Market Fancy--with its earthy colors and simple layout it has such a peasanty feel.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm new to quilting, but not new to sewing. When you make a quilt like this do you piece together an entire row, or do you work in smaller pieces or squares? I'm asking because I'm attempting to make my first quilt, and when I tried to sew one entire row together, then sew it to the next row, the seams were not lining up. I'd appreciate your advice!
That. Is. Beautiful. I have been trying to think of what to make myself with my small hoard of fmf, & this might be it. I may have to throw some solids in there, because I don't have a lot of fmf, but I think it will still work! Thanks for the idea!
just so beautiful , I love the simplicity !
It is so beautiful, fmf really shines in such a simple layout like this, it really lets the fabric be the star. And I'm another who needs to find the courage (and time!) to cut into my FMF stash!
Oh wow I love that! :D
I really need to be brave and try random piecing like that. The results are fab.
Green is my favorite color too. It really does enhance every color.
Absolutely gorgeous quilt!! I'd love to do these one day but need to store up those scraps!
Absolutely stunning!!!
It's perfect!! Simple squares is all these wonderful fabrics need. LOVE it.
******Wow*****
Oh, how I love this quilt. I have just a few scraps of FMF. And the other day I saw a charm pack going for $75!!! Take good care of this quilt....
simply beautiful!!
; )
absolutely beautiful!
Gorgeous!! I love the beauty of a simple patchwork. I haven't decided how to use my FMF stash yet, but this is a gorgeous option - it really lets the fabric do the talking! Beautiful work!
It is beautiful! I have been planning on doing this with my Heather Ross Fabrics but with 4" squares :) Seeing your quilt just makes me want to get started on mine.
So vibrant and beautiful! The backing is very lovely too :)
It's gorgeous! Love the quilting, too.

I love this quilt! I love the idea of quilting on either side instead of in the ditch- I want to try that on a quilt- it really looks great.

I just discovered your blog and when I checked out your shop I noticed that you are called nettiepete - what a coincidence, my name is Annette Petty and people call me Nettie Petty!
Your quilts are lovely and I hope you don't mind that I have added your blog to my blog list. I hope you will visit my blog sometime.

I love simple patchwork quilts. This is the perfect way to display your collection. I've been trying to figure out what to do with my Katie Jump Rope.

Awesome! I'm getting ready to use the same exact fabrics along with a few Kona cottons thrown in to do some English paper piecing.

I just found your blog, through A Room Somewhere. I love your quilts! Beautiful. I have two quilting projects sitting in my closet, but I haven't done a quilt since I was eight years old with my grandmother...one is to take my husband's old t-shirts that he doesn't wear anymore out of our space-constrained dresser and sew the interesting parts together in a quilt...any suggestions about working with t-shirt material? or any suggestions at all?
amazing. i have tried to visualize how i would use mine in a quilt and this never occured to me. the most obvious is more likely than not to be the best choice. this is by far my favorite of all the fmf quilts i have seen. i look at my fmf all the time and i never realized how colorful it is. i love your quilts.
This is stunning! Really impressive!
So colorful. This is the perfect pattern to use up those scraps.
It is no use crying over spilt milk.......................................................................
I love the 3" square size and then the array of colors and prints are SUPER. Good job. I enjoy looking at the fun things you do.
LOVE it!!! So bright and cheery! Jenn
What a beautiful market quilt. That is the type of quilt I want to make. I am new to this quilting field and have just started to browse the blog world of quilting. Found you via Film in the Fridge.

You have done a marvelous job! I am really inspired with your work.
How many different fabrics did you use? I tried to count and got to 31 but wanted to know for sure. I just cut about 300 squares for my own 3" quilt and have 13 different fabrics but think I need more.
hi sunny,
i believe i used 45 different prints.
Cute cute cute! I love all your fabrics they work so well together. You're very talented.
This is beautiful! I am trying to make a quilt something like this (just little squares). This is just delightful! Excellent work!
