Sew Sunshine

Scrappy Diamond was in the works for a while.  I started cutting up squares from my bigger (and getting tired of using the same fabric) stash pieces. I had an abundance of low volume fabrics too so it was easy to plop them together and just make HSTs.  This layout is super fun to make by the way. 64 x 80" approx. I used up a bunch of the HSTs on the back and it worked great to piece the back with them! Plus I finished 13 receiving blanket/play mats from my flannel stash (still have) and dropped them off with the baby flannel blankets from previous post.  linking up with  Wendy  Peacock party Finish or not Friday with   Alycia Quilts Confessions of a Fabric  Addict 2023 Quilt parade: Midnight Mystery UFO 2016   Baubles quilt and  book review  for Kelly Young Fun Flannel  3 Flannel quilts , 2 homeless pillows and a Tilda Cow Sundown on Scraps  a scrap art quilt  and kit recycle bags/pillows Scrappy  strips throw 2 ...

This quilt was finished earlier this summer for the book release by Kelly Young.  It's the Midnight Mystery qal quilt by  Meadow Mist designs  back in 2015.  I had the top and some of the fabrics tucked away ready to sew up a back. But I put it away. Here is the top from Jan of 2016. It was a perfect UFO to finish using Kelly Young's new book  Perfectly Pieced Quilt Backs .  I used 2 pieces of fabric that matched up and found another in my stash by the same designer. I had a half of a block so might as well use it up. I think it turned out pretty good and looks intentional which is the beauty of the book ideas for piecing backs.  I am so happy to have finished an old UFO.
