Over the years I've made a number of random quilt blocks. Mainly because it's my way of trying out a new technique, or just because it's a pattern I like, so I make them and throw them in a pile. I have made so many random quilt blocks, with no idea what to do with them, when I finally came up with the idea to make a quilt that looks like a clothesline with "quilts" hanging out to dry, and here's what I ended up with! I even added some kitties at the bottom from some vintage fabric I found at a thrift store.
The blue floral borders on the top of the quilt, and the green patch of fabric on the scrappy back are both true vintage fabrics found at a rummage sale. I love incorporating vintage fabrics in some of my quilts.
I started this project in 2015 or 2016, and completed it in 2018.

I'm linking my Washing Day post up to blog post "Show Me Something Outdoors" over at Sarah Goer Quilts. Give her blog a look and follow for great inspiration!
Oh, man!!! That is so well done! Cute! Great way to use those orphan quilt blocks, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much, Nancy! I also just figured out how to reply to blog comments after doing a little Google search! I had to go into my settings and change the comments from a pop up window to embedded. Boy oh boy... sure wish I had known that years ago! Haha! Live and Learn!
DeleteAnyways, thank you again! This was a really fun quilt project to create!
