When we had the Table Topper Blog Hop, I made a Ticker Tape quilt in yellow. I than quickly decided to start making more in other colors. My plan is to hang them all up together above our bed. We don't have a head board, so it would be great to put something so cool there.
When I made the first one, it was so simple to just grab yellow scraps. It's my favorite color after all and all the yellows looked great together. So today, when I decided to
I think it came out okay. I had a bit of a time with the darker pieces. I tried to spread them out so there was balance. Even though these are taken outside, it is overcast and you can't see them too well.
In this piece I did not include some of my green scraps for various reasons: too dark, too blue green, too yellow green etc.
The piece with the little red hearts is from the first quilt I made and the green raindrops is from baby B's Jack and Jenny quilt. Everything else is in between. That's 20 years of quilting greens people. I am amazed to see them all together like this. Amy Butler, Laurie Wisbrun, Sweetwater, and some so old I have no idea who made them. They didn't always put so much info on selvedges you know.
And here they are together. My first and second. I used a yellow-ish, pink-ish, orange-ish for the binding. I am happy with how it came out.
So what do you think? Purple, red, pink, blue next? So much fun awaits.
Have a great week.

Those little quilts are darling. I'll bet it was fun to play with the fabrics!
I love playing with the scraps like this and the inspiration is the book, Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg and Cheryl Arkison. Thanks for stopping by.
