Scrappity-Do-Dah Quilt

 

This is a Scrappity-Do-Dah quilt top that I made for my sister.  She had wanted me to make a quilt for her and I finally selected a pattern.  I wanted to use up the fabrics in my stash.  I found this scrappy quilt pattern and set out to make the quilt top.  There was lots of cutting, trimming, and squaring up in this design. 

 

Here is another view of the top.  I plan to stitch in the ditch along the  sashing and then add a center medallion to the center where the four triangles meet.  I will use my Janome 12000 quilting program to do the medallions.  It will take awhile but it is to be a Christmas present.  My sister has seen the quilt top and would be happy to have an early Christmas gift!!! She will display it on the bed in her guest room.  The bed is white (a vintage bed that belonged to our mom and dad) so the quilt will look very nice.

Fanjapani Scrap Mini-Quilt

Here is my latest scrap mini-quilt.  The pattern is Fanjapani.  I purchased the pattern and templates for the two pieces a few years ago.  As I was sorting fabric scraps last weeks, I cut these pieces from the smaller fabric scraps.  I found just enough black in my stash to complete the sashing and border (actually had to piece one of the borders).  I'm thinking of stippling the black border with gold thread or maybe I'll stick with a simple quilting in black.   What do you think?
