Well, take a look! I actually made a quilt from my stash fabric.
It is overcast and rainy today so photos are really difficult to take. But here is a photo of the fabric pull so you can see the lovely colors. I didn't have enough of any one mint colored fabric, so I used three different prints to meet the pattern requirements.
My kitchen is barely big enough for the quilt.
I love all those soft colors spattered with the floral and stripe prints.
I also tried the lighting in my studio. It is still looking a bit washed out.
I used a dark blue sketch fabric on the back and quilted it with a light blue thread. Big ruffly flowers give the quilt a wonderful texture.
It was a nice change to work with large pieces and follow a pattern. This pattern is called Studio Chic by Artichoke Patterns. I bought it over a decade ago and I am not sure if it is still in print.
Now I am ready to get to my scrap bins. I do still have a few stash pieces I might try and make a quilt from but that will be another day.
Enjoy your weekend!
(Today is the last day of Connecting Threads big sale. A few prints from this quilt came from there!)

That's a neat design! I love the stained glass effect. It does look like a great way to use some larger prints without cutting them into small pieces. The blue/green floral that looks like Queen Anne's Lace is my favorite!
That is a really pretty quilt. My mind would have never put some of those fabrics in there but they work! Your quilting is nice as well.
I love the way you framed it all. Really pretty!
Beautiful quilt! I agree with you -- the colors work so perfectly with each other. The fact that it was a stash-busting quilt scores a double win!
The quilted ruffly flowers are such a fun motif and match the prints nicely. What a lovely quilt!
A non scrappy quilt! That is a change of pace. Looks great.
Wow, no scraps, I might be in shock, hehehe. Just kidding, I love it!! Looks like a pretty quick quilt too.
Great pattern for large prints and focus fabrics.
It's always fun to do something a little different. It turned out very nice and also comfy looking.
i love it, great pattern. Hugs,
Hi,
I really like your new quilt...so pretty!
Have a great day!
Stash quilt vs. scrap quilt... Is that even legal?! :P
