I finished this quilt up before we moved in October, but just barely got around to taking any pics. I'm not super in love with it. I like it enough, but something doesn't feel right. I'm not sure if it's the layout or the putty color...I can't put my finger on it, but that's okay, the point was to use up some scraps.
I decided to bind it in this small flower print (Children at Play) to make it a little more pretty, and it turned out to be my favorite part.
When I started this quilt I thought I'd make the whole quilt top scrappy, but changed my mind. I felt like it was getting too busy. 
I love this print for backing. It also helps to pretty it up. This is it for 2011! (finally). Baby #4 is scheduled to come this week, so I'm pretty sure I won't be at my sewing machine for a while. Too bad, because I have really been feeling the itch!
It's lovely, if you ask me! I really like the rounded corners.
ReplyDeleteI really like it too!
ReplyDeleteI super love it! The quilting is great!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you don't like it. I like everything about it and I'm going to mark it for future inspiration. Cute, cute, cute! Toni
ReplyDeleteHow exciting...good luck with baby #4 coming...I hope all goes smoothly and that you enjoy that 2 day vacation in the hospital (my favorite part...minus the labor and it being really expensive).
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, and looks mega cozy!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and get tons of rest!
I think it's perfect - there is just enough 'scrappy' without overdoing it - the putty colour gives it a very striking modern edge and the binding pulls it all together. BE HAPPY IT'S SCRAPPY!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a most beautiful quilt! I'm sure you'll love it in time, sometimes you need to "sleep" on it to let the quilt grow on you.
ReplyDeletelove, love, love it!!! i love patchy scrappy quilts and the straight line quilting looks great!
ReplyDeleteGood luck this week! I'll be thinking of you.
ReplyDelete(As for the quilt, I love the concept and the quilting, but it does feel a little unbalanced. Maybe that's what's bothering you?)
I hope all goes well!
ReplyDeleteSuper exciting. I wish you an easy birth and a healthy baby!
ReplyDeleteI've never thought to do rounded corners, I'll have to try it out!
ReplyDeleteI super love this quilt! Good luck with the end of your pregnancy and the beginning of the fun adventure. I miss those days .....
ReplyDeleteSweet quilt!
ReplyDeleteHope this is the week, and you aren't left waiting for the new arrival xxxx
Well I love your scrappy quilt - the putty colour, the scraps, the pretty binding and backing! Good luck this week - hope everything goes well!
ReplyDeleteOh my Yumminess, those rounded corners are so great!
ReplyDeleteThose curved corners really set it off, great job.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt!!! I need to make one for myself :)
ReplyDeletelove it! i've been trying to decide what type of scrappy quilt to do and i like the idea of using a solid on the front like this.
ReplyDeletel.o.v.e. the binding and the rounded corners. I also like the putty colour, I think it gives the overall quilt a stillness, somewhere quiet to rest the eye.
ReplyDeletebaby no. 4 - good luck!
Beautiful quilt...love the quilting. Best wishes with your baby!
ReplyDeleteThat backing fabric is a personal favorite. Love this quilt!
ReplyDeleteBlessings this week for your newest little one.
ReplyDeleteoh i love it so much! that binding is perfect. so sweet and pretty. good luck with the new baby! i will miss seeing your makes for the next little while. i see a lot of time on the couch in your future! ;) i hope you enjoy every second of it!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet cute! Nice!!

ReplyDeleteI really love it! but yes that backing and binding are perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteooooh! a baby!
Stumbled across your blog & love your projects - so colorful & beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful quilt and the background colors really makes the other colors pop, love it. What is the background color?
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThe nice thing about quilts is that even if you don't like the finished product, it is still useable and will serve you well. I rather like it myself, it isn't your run of the mill design and you can bet no one else has one just like it. When you tire of looking at it, you can always tuck it between a couple of sheets or light weight blankets. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSusanne :)
I just love your style, Nettie. (And your taste in fabric. :))
ReplyDeleteBest, best wishes with baby #4 and all that entails. Especially that new baby smell and those sweet snuggles.
It's fun, it's abstract, I really like the FMQ. It's owner will love it, that's the most important part. It's hard to make a scrappy quilt look balanced, maybe it's not even supposed to be. Good luck with #4, it'll be a piece of cake with all your little helpers there :)
ReplyDeleteIt is so great to use up those bits and pieces. Love your project and the binding is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteit's just lovely, nettie!
ReplyDeletehope all is well in your home. happy adjusting to the new one. :)
I love how you left so much breathing room around the scraps. It will "age" well too. Thanks for your blog - it's one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI love scrappy quilts and this is fabulous! Don't know why you don't like it ???
ReplyDeleteIs it a step outside your comfort zone!?
I really, really love it. Especially the sandy background and darling binding.
ReplyDeleteI love the whole thing too. I'm definitely going to make one for myself.
ReplyDeleteOh I really love it - and yes, the floral binding is perfect!!!
ReplyDeletebest of luck with the arrival of bub4!
Aw, how exciting! You'll have your baby # 4 coming soon. :) Congratulations! I like your scrappy quilt, especially the binding. It accentuated the quilt beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLove the pops of color on the neutral background, but especially love the binding. So so pretty!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Heather - the rounded corners of the quilt are the best feature and one I might try on one of my next baby quilts.
Rounded corners give it this sweet vibe about it!
