When I finished this quilt...
I did a happy dance!!
A VERY LOUD....
A VERY BIG....
happy DANCE!!!!
All those little 2" squares were
FINALLY a QUILT!!!!
I'm sharing this one for
It proves that LOTS and LOTS of little tiny pieces of fabric
will EVENTUALLY become something....
That can be USED!!!
Dimensions: 86"x86"
Includes a MILLION 2" squares
(some were sent to me by blogland friends!)
Hey!
I even quilted it myself!
I call it my postage stamp quilt.
;)
Enjoy the quilt show!
It is a hard work not only the sewing, but the cutting!

Nothing says love and comfort like a good scrappy quilt and this one takes the cake - love it!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! I love how you used the lines of white to help lead the eye through the quilt
ReplyDeleteI'm making one of these so I know how much cutting and sewing is involved. Love yours!
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautiful, Beth!! I know you're glad to have it finished - a true labor of love!! Whoop whoop!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing your quilt! I sent a few squares and I was wondering how you were doing on this one! It looks fabulous on your bed! A lot of work, but worth it!
ReplyDeleteWahoo, it's wonderful Beth. Did you just use your regular little ol sewing machine? Not a mid or long arm?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!
ReplyDeletethat is a stunning quilt, beth! renews my faith that maybe i'll manage to finish mine someday (as i sit back and start stitching those little squares together by hand once again....someday it will grow up to be a real quilt like beth's!)
ReplyDeletegreat quilt , so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love postage stamp quilts I am working on one too but I chose 1" finished squares, what the heck was I thinking????

There is nothing more stunning than a scrap quilt. Don't you just love the way you put all those fabrics together and ended up with a work of art!

amazing quilt. I love PSQ's. did you participate in the charm swaps hosted by The Curious Quilter? I did and it was fun getting fabrics from all over the world.
ReplyDeleteVeramente fantastica,
ReplyDeleteti fa dire oooooohhhhh!!!!!!
ciao
Congratulations on finishing the quilt, it turned out beautifully, Beth!
ReplyDeleteWow! It looks great on your bed. Good work.
ReplyDeleteI love your Postage Stamp Quilt!!! It looks great on your bed. I've just started one myself, although I'm working with 2 1/2 inch squares :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! What a fabulous quilt!! It's so colourful and fun and you'll different fabrics every time you look at it.
ReplyDeleteIt's fantastic! I love the colourful scene and the simple pattern which is not at all simple when the squares are so small! I have made a wall quilt with 49 2"x2" squares so can have a small idea about your work ... or perhaps not ... one million?! It's so beautiful! x Teje
ReplyDeleteOh. My! I'm in awe of your patience! Love the discreet pattern the white squares make. :-)
ReplyDeleteHazle
Wow! I'd be doing a happy dance too! Congrats on your beautiful quilt.:)
ReplyDeletelovely!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Wow! Wow! It's just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty - I love the white in it. Usually they end up being made with darker colours but this is a lovely change. I'm working on one too (have been for a few years now - by hand) so I can totally understand where the happy dance came from!

Sorry - I had this page open and my daughter got to it! ;p
ReplyDeleteWhat I really want to say is "Wow"! This is amazing, I love it! The only way I can imagine doing this is as a leaders & enders project over a few years.
Wow! Did you go cross-eyed making this? It looks fantastic, but that's A LOT of little squares. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see this quilt again Beth!!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you put the light ones on the diagonal! Looks like a labour of love. Well done. Good luck in the finals!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of piecing. Great job. And congrats on the finish and the happy dance.
