Welcome to finish it up Friday! I'm happy to share my chopped rhubarb quilt with you today! I
just finished the binding this morning. I LOVE how this one turned out!
As I said earlier, I couldn't help but to jump on the scrappy trip bandwagon. I loved the comment that Charlotte left saying she would be shocked if I
didn't. That gave me a good chuckle. This pattern was a lot of fun to make. I can totally see revisiting it sometime in the future.
I noticed I had one fabric repeat in the top (oops!), so I
only used 119 unique fabrics in the top. (ha!) All from scraps and stash. Hurray for using what you've got!
For the backing I used this CUTE Riley Blake print that I picked up last summer. It wasn't quite wide enough, so I patched in a few solid strips of fabric in some of my favorite colors, lime and aqua. It was a happy accident/design element that helps to show off the quilting on the back. Love that detail.
For the binding...Ta Dot by Michael Miller. One final zing to finish off the quilt. I like it a lot. :)
I decided that I'm keeping this one. My daughter and I will be sharing it. She was super thrilled to hear that. (My husband will be so thrilled, too. ha! He might think we have too many quilts. Oh, the gall he has to suggest such things!)
It finishes at 48" x 60".
I haven't washed and dried it yet, but I will be sure to share photos and a full report of it post-washing.

ReplyDelete(and maybe covet just a little)
It is fantastic. I love it.
ReplyDeleteas usual...I love your colors. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove. It. I am still working on my trip around the world, which is not so scrappy. I did all FMF fabrics with one of her fabrics from Joann's. Anyway, congrats on finishing! I would keep it too if I were you!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I keep telling myself that I have enough of those blocks, but then I find a way to justify making a few more....
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think it turned out great! I'm glad you're keeping it!
ReplyDeleteThis one makes me very happy! Love your quilting too.

Great finish, love the colors and I love the name of it, except I don't go for rhubarb! what a woman you are!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I linked up my scrappy trip along today too.
ReplyDeleteNever TOO many quilts. This is a great one for you and your daughter to share. Happy Weekend.
ReplyDeleteQuilts are great for bitter winter season! The background fabric is really cute... I am planning make one after my two {single girl} quilts that I am working on now. I haven't have any good finished lately, but yesterday finished a patchwork zippered pouch for a friend. :) Happy weekending and stay warm~
ReplyDeleteI've said it before - your quilts make me want to quilt. And I've never really had that desire before. I adore this quilt! It's stunning! g
ReplyDeleteOh, AmandaJean, this is just drool-worthy ! But I wouldn't do that to your beautiful quilt, so I'll just keep trying to finish my own that you inspired !
ReplyDeleteI was so upset when I saw your quilting and thought that it was the serpentine stitch, because I looked before and my zigzag machine doesn't have that. But then I read the earlier post about this stitch, and realized that I HAVE the triple zigzag........I'm not sure that mine will stretch out this far, but atleast I have hope again ! I just love how that looks !
Beautiful work, all inspired by chopped rhubarb......how divine !
I absolutely LOVE it! And I am going to borrow your new quilting stitch. I finally started digging around in my UFO closet and pulled a couple out. There WILL be some finishes for me in the future. I pinky swear.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a fun quilt, Amanda! Love the name, and the print you chose for binding is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE! that was the perfect backing for your little scrappy quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's so fresh and fun! I would keep it too
ReplyDeleteI love this! I've browsed the scrappy trip quilts, yours is by far the best color scheme I've seen! You being a lefty makes so much sense, your amazing at picking colors!
ReplyDeleteThe dot binding is a great final zing! Great pop! And how could you possibly have too many quilts??? That's just obsurd! (:
I love how your quilt turned out! And oh how I love that quilting stitch that you discovered. Unfortunately, my machine doesn't have an option to choose that wide stitch :( I was truly bummed about that. Might need to shop for a new machine....for that reason alone!! I think it's great that you're keeping it for yourself!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! It looks so sparkly in the snow.
ReplyDeleteI just love you colors! Beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so beautiful! I don't blame you for keeping it and don't worry, my husband might think the same thing in our house ;-) Great quiltiing too!
ReplyDeleteAmanda
I just love your quilt! So happy colours, and I get happy myself by looking at it.
ReplyDeleteYour scrappy trips quilt looks great and I really like your choice of binding. I am having a lot of fun making my scrappy trips quilt...everyone should make one...it is sooooo fun!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful work, and back is so sweet..! :-D
ReplyDeleteWell as trip arounds go yours is my favourite so far shhhh x
ReplyDeletelovely. There is something about these quilts that just makes us want to keep them for ourselves. Maybe it's all the memories of the scraps!
ReplyDeleteLove all of the fun, bright colors in the quilt! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and the honeycomb quilting - I am thinking of using this on one of my next quilts!
ReplyDeleteLove the name and the colors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful quilt, Amanda!! Thanks for sharing, and for the linky party!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic finish! Glad to know you're keeping it :) It will be nice to look at and remember what else you used the fabrics for!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I will be checking out the color inspiration, because this quilt is so spectacular. I am really glad you get to keep it! Plus, this honeycomb stitch is amazing, I plan to try it out as well. Thanks for sharing, and have a blessed Friday!!!
ReplyDeleteWow great finish. I just love the red and pink init. Thanks for hosting. I look forward to visiting as many sites as I can each Friday.
ReplyDeleteLovely blanket in great colors :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend ..
119 unique fabrics. Geez! Even if I did have that many in my stash, i seriously doubt they would blend as nicely as yours do. Swell finish!
ReplyDeleteyou chose the perfect name for it! And the simple quilting is perfect too.
ReplyDeleteI love the rhubarb color combination. It's super yummy!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! Well done on another fab finish!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I so love your color scheme! It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow do you like the size? I was debating between doing a 4 x 5 size and a 5 x 6 size. Do you feel like it covers you pretty well as a throw?
I would love to jump on the bandwagon, but ˆ promised my self to not start anything new until the UFO's are done! YOurs is wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI just love, love your scrappy trip along - inspired binding choice and sweet texture from that quilting, too! I love using the wavy line and was very happy that my new(ish) Pfaff has it because that was what I thought I'd miss most from the Bernina I traded in.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this quilt!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You can never have to many quilts! That's such a great way to use all your scraps! How many individual blocks are there total?
ReplyDeleteGlorious. I love this Rhubarb!
ReplyDeleteChopped Rhubarb is fantastic! Love it from all sides...
ReplyDeleteThat was quick! I need to play with the layout and get a wriggle on.
