Stash Project Complete!

I decided late last year to try to use up some of my stash!

I chose all my reds, pinks, oranges, greens and some black and white for 


contrast!


Cut out lots of strips in a variety of widths...

And this is what I made...



So, this week, after an afternoon of FMQ....


I bound it....


and I'm happy to say...


I have a stash project complete!


I haven't quite decided where this is going yet?

To a happy home I hope!


But before it goes, it needs a name too...

It reminds me of watermelon and oranges!

Suggestions gratefully received!


I'm linking up to Clover and Violet's Stash Project -






Happy sewing!

You must listen to Rhonda (http://gapquilter.blogspot.com/)'s first podcast and you will retract the Watermelon!!!

Beautiful though - gotta love a finish!!

Suz - this is lovely - reminds me of a fruit basket (complete with grapes on the back). What type of thread did you use for your FMQ?

Wow, your quilt looks spectacular. What a great idea, I should do this with my stash too.

Great idea using your stash and having fun with it. Will have to give this one a try myself. My name for your quilt is Alsorts - because it is made up of all sorts of fabbie. I

It's really lovely Suz. Yes I like the idea of a fruity name.

I love this quilt! Nothing better than log cabin...it makes a lovely quilt! Love all the colors and the scrappy look :) And you got to thin out your fabric stash to boot!

So cheerful and cheering. Very nice work! (Sorry, no name suggestion. I am not much good at naming quilts.)

Your quilt is fantastic. Inspires me to try more scrap projects. What about Berry Surprise for a name.

It's lovely and a lot of work to put it all together.... love the idea of fruit... lots in there so maybe it's a fruit salad? or fruit punch? Such a happy quilt..

That's one amazing quilt!! A name? "Fruit Punch" came to mind immediately and I see someone else has suggested it too. or "Fruit Tingle"?.

Nice work! There is something very satisfying about a quilt made with scraps.
