Brown Bag Quilt Contest-Finished!

So as a recap...He are the fabrics I got from Debbie. She sent me 9 fat quarters of some very fun fabrics.I decided not to use the bright green with the "circus" theme.
 This is my favorite block. What more could a girl want, shoes, hand bags, friends, and girl power. LOL!
 Next is the primadonna block. High class. Royalty expensive glasses, hand bags, shoes, jewelry.
 Good food and love. I have never had sushi before but I have heard some people love it.
 This is a fun one. Candies and phones.
Here is the back. I used every usable piece of fabric. All the extras I made into the back. I used even the smallest pieces as a frame for the label. That was fun to make. I quilted it with a straight lines a 1/4 inch from all the sewn edges. That took a while but I love the way it looks.
Here is the label up close. I had so much fun making this quilt. Thank you Debbie!! I appliqued on one of the little girls onto the label. Isn't she so cute.

Well here it is all quilted and bound. Thank you for this chance to work with some "ugly" fabric. I can't wait to do another one.

  1. I love the fabric you received. I like the way you grouped them into block sections - very cute. I like the look of the straight line quilting - time consuming, but very effective.

  2. It is amazing how ALL QUILTS are beautiful. I really like what you've done with those brown bag fabs. I personally don't like to use a lot of novelty prints. To me they are challenging, so congrats on your challenge. It turned out great.
