Sometimes quilts happen very quickly!
I was actually doing a bit of clean up in the stash and came across a number of autumn-colored big scraps. Most of them were trimmings from backing. It was easy to see the quilt hidden in them.
I quickly sketched out a block and got to cutting all those scraps up.
In no time at all I had a finished quilt top.
I was gifted this great angel backing fabric. The colors are perfect!
I have a new elf to help with quilting. Laura just got a longarm and is using some of these quilts to practice on. Her machine is computerized and getting used to the programing takes a lot of time. She did a wonderful job on this quilt - she put in some loops and lovely leaves to go with the fall theme.
I am so grateful for all the help I am getting on these quilts!
This quilt measures 54" x 63".
Do you sometimes see a quilt in a pile of scraps?

I often see quilts in piles of scraps but there just isn't time to make them all! Cute quilt, a good practice quilting quilt. Happy stitching!
That one came together quickly. Love how you saw the hidden quilt, very cool approach.
That's a great block to feature those pretty fall colors and prints! I love the turquoise in it. I'm so happy to hear you've got another long-armer who'll help out - you've been making an amazing amount of quilts! Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
Wonderful quilt you saw in your pile of scraps!! Such a great feeling when that vision all comes together so well as yours has, isn't it? Great job
Hugs, Julierose
Great job! Simple blocks can make a great quilt and this is one of them. I see some fussy cutting was used to showcase lovely prints. Very well done! I love it when you talk about your process. So interesting to know how others work. I see quilts in scraps all. The. Time. Probably the first reason why I can't give away my scraps is because I see the potential in them. Congrats to Laura for joining the team! ;^)
Oh to have your talent for seeing a quilt hidden in the scraps! This is such a clever block as it gives lots of movement to the quilt depending on how it is placed. . . reminds me of falling leaves in fall! While I like the fall colors, I'm really looking forward to Spring!!!!
Nice quilt! I love fall colors. You did well, spotting that quilt hidden in the scraps! I have a hard time deciding what the scraps are trying to tell me. Too many possibilities, too little time.
I love the colours in this quilt! Definitely autumn jewel kind of tones.
Oh yes, those scraps were definitely asking to be made into a quilt. Hooray for Laura, another elf to help get these quilts finished!
That is amazing & wonderful. What a great use of scraps!
Dang, Cynthia! I got sidetracked and didn't link up this week's ProjectQUILTING entry. :o((
Congrats on your Quilting Fairy AND a great "leftover" quilt!!
