If you are a regular blog reader, you know that I have totally been struggling with my UFO #6 from my Patchwork Times Quilt Challenge.
One of my complaints was that the BOM fabric requirements were SO off. I have LOTS of fabric left over. Well I dug through my cupboard and found some leftovers that I had from making a bag with similar fabric and threw it all in a box.
I was planning on having a giveaway to get rid of all the fabric, then last night, while paging through Miss Rosie’s Quilt Company book Miss Rosie’s Quilt Collection, I saw the quilt, Uptown Girl.
Right then and there…I decided I would try to make this quilt with the scraps. My quilt will end up having more blues in it as there are blues in the leftovers. Right now, I am guessing I might have to pull a couple neutrals but other than that, I think I will be able to make the quilt with the leftovers….I’ll keep you posted.
The link is broke and I’d like to see front of book. It is a beauty to make!
Now that is thinking outside the box *lol*
I’ve been known to repurpose a kit or two.
Good for you!! Use what you have, the colors are beautiful! Is that butterscotch I see there? Are the fabrics Thimbleberries or Civil War they’re very nice , I can’t believe you have that much left over. It should be beautiful>
I do know that feeling – I bought two quilt kits where it says that a quilt can be made from a certain amount of material (included) and I always ended up adding to it somehow from my stash. Very frustrating.
Way to go. I love the pattern.
So did you decide to go ahead and finish your #6 UFO? I’m watching this all unfold — I can’t stop reading!
