Quilt top finally finished (pic)

I finally finished one of my UQTs sitting here. It's a Broken Dishes pattern with sashings and intended to be lots of brown because it hangs in a room with brown antiques.

Those are 8" blocks so you can get a feel for size. I generally do wall hangings except for a baby gift now and then. It sure looks better on the wall than sitting in the pile.

    Just BEAUTIFUL! I just love traditional.

    Can you take a detail shot of a couple blocks. I'd love to see more of the color but what I see is very cohesive and tranquil.

    It's beautiful!!!! I really the feeling the colors evoke. I have to ask does the pattern call for HST's or hourglasses? I've just started an hourglass top and now its all I see.

    So glad you showed us more detail. I see you used PLAID! I love plaid and I think the traditional blocks are a great use for them.

    The soft teals and browns go wonderfully together and the border fabric just makes it sing!

    Well done. You must be so pleased.

    Fabrics are bits and pieces from my stash, thrift store and Joanns probably. I started it when I was first learning to quilt and quickly learned how critical that 1/4" seam is when you make a block with lots of little pieces. None of my points came out the same and square. I hide it nicely, don't you think?

    JCK1210, this is the pattern.

    Great Job, Linda! I love it because: it used up lots of scraps, the border compliments it so well, You can check off 1 more UFO and the wide sashing makes it look great!

    Congratulations!
    Gwen

    ps- on another matter: thanks for the comments to the person about the quilt rack--good observation!

    That is a wonderful quilt and the border is outstanding. You make a pattern "broken Dish" that I could never get in love with grab my heart. You have done just a wonderful job on the quilting as well.

    Very pretty! It has a nice retro feel to it, but still looks fresh and not outdated!

    Linda, Excellent job of putting bits and pieces together to get this great looking quilt. I think looking at what we did in the beginning lets us know how far we've come and puts a smile on our face. @:)

    Congratulations on a job well done. I love traditional quilts and especially when they are scrappy from your stash. The border fabric is perfect to bring it together.
    If you don't point out the imperfections no one would notice. I love it. Jayne TFS
