MSP Factory – Finished

Happy 2019!  We made it to the new year.  Always have to be thankful for that.

First up for 2019 is a quilt I finished last year and photographed in November, hence the beautiful fall foliage in the pictures.  I was planning to get this posted last year, but sometimes time just gets away from you.

I made this quilt top back in 2017 when it was my year of ‘using what I had,’ which basically meant I was trying to sew my stash and buy as little fabric as possible.

This quilt uses all Denyse Schmidt fabric.  I have a huge DS Quilts fabric collection, including lots of smaller scraps, so this quilt was designed specifically for the purpose of trying to use some of the smaller scraps up.

I chose a few different fabric color families to include in the quilt and then picked equal amounts of fabrics for each of the color to use.

For example, I used a pink/purple(ish) color, a lighter pink, orange, yellow, blue, etc.

When paired with the Kona Cotton white it definitely makes the colors pop.

The back of the quilt also uses Denyse Schmidt fabric.  I had a couple larger pieces of DS Quilts fabric from her Joann Fabrics collections that I pieced together along with a piece of Kona Cotton Windsor.

The binding is DS Quilts fabric as well.  In this image you only see one of the binding fabrics but it actually is a scrappy binding.

I haven’t don’t a scrappy binding in a while and I forgot how much I like it!

That’s a wrap on this quilt.  I have some other projects filed away and will be ready to share them here soon.  Can’t wait to show you what I’m working on in 2019!
