And just like that, it turns out this top is finished. I thought I was going round again, or maybe adding more of the solid gold, but when I laid it out and looked at it today I thought again. I think I'm happy with it just how it is.
This is the first quilt I have made where every single last scrap of it was shirt. No additions of any kind.
Congratulations; it looks great! And I love that you were able to use every last scrap of the shirts to make it. I also appreciate how smoothly this one went compared to the last quilt top. :)
ReplyDeleteJust a lovely finish--congrats on using up only shirts!! I bet this will be such a cozy-feeling quilt...what fun to quilt it, too--beautiful work, Kaja...

It turned out great! A really comfy looking quilt. I bet it feels good to come to the end and feel done.
ReplyDeleteLove that it is all shirts... love that it just works. Learning so much from watching your process!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite one ever!! It is perfect ox
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love it that you are attuned to knowing when the quilt says this is it.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful finish Kaja! The last borders really work so well. Amazing way to use up those shirts! I read your extra post too over on AHIQ about flipping fabrics over, to get that "tastefully understated" look... something I must remember in the future.
ReplyDeleteI really, really, REALLY like this one! What a fabulous quilt top!
ReplyDeleteWow! You ate amazing!

ReplyDeleteYou ARE amazing
I love everything about this quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Kaja. I really like the blunt triangles. I recently went to a thrift shop and they had shirts at a great price so now I have a bunch of shirts too.
ReplyDeleteStunning! An absolute knockout! I was surprised because I didn't realize the pieced sections were as big as they are.
ReplyDeleteOh this is a treasure, I love how you've married all the different parts together, it's so balanced.
