Kitchen Sink Feed Sacks made a nice dent in my small 2.5" strip box. I'm still wanting to try it again using low volume prints... I think I'll start setting aside a bin of strips so that I'll be ready when the urge strikes!

A WIP Finish
Kitchen Sink Feed Sacks is an unusual quilt for me - started and finished in the same month (actually just over 2 weeks). This is as close to a start to finish quilter as I'll probably ever be! This quilt is from the book "Scrap-Basket Surprises" by Kim Bracket and it measures 48" by 60".
As often happens, this quilt grew on me during the quilting process. It is so satisfying to walking foot quilt along the scrappy fabrics! I used my standard white Aurifil which sinks in nicely and allows the fabrics to do the heavy lifting.
I found a fun novelty flannel print in my stash and added a strip of pink flannel to make it wide enough. I always enjoy seeing the grid of quilting lines on the backside. The binding was chosen primarily to match the back but I love the spark it gives the front too.
This quilt will be donated to Project Linus and is my October NewFO project. I'm also linking up to TGIFF/OctoberQuest 2@Quilter in the Closet and WIP Wednesday@Freshly Pieced.

ReplyDeleteWow! When I saw your quilt I thought. "I have that book." I never thought to make that quilt because I didn't care for the one in the book. Your bright fabric really makes the pattern pop! Thanks for the inspiration!
