I got my Scrappy Sprouts quilt top done!
And it is just what I was hoping for... I love it so much that it's going to thrill me and hurt to give it away.
Though I'm not sure how to quilt it? Suggestions?
I went with an Essex yarn-dyed linen blend in flax. I think it was the perfect complement to the backgrounds on the blocks, has great texture, AND meant that I didn't have to create scrappy sashing. I love how it turned out (and again -- this is why I have a stash).
The kids love it too.
Seriously, this happens every time I lay down a quilt or quilt top.
If you are wondering more about this quilt, or measurements for making a block of your own, you can find more info here. Thank you again for all those who helped in making this blessings quilt!

What a pretty quilt! I'd probably quilt it with a grid on an angle.
This is so wonderful. Good call on the Essex linen. I would probably stipple it...
Oh wow, that looks absolutely amazing, no wonder you want to keep it!
So incredibly cute! Definitely one of my favorite scappy quilts!
Ooo its beautiful!
Gorgeous Tracey! Love the colourful blocks with the linen.
Turned out great! I'm a big fan of stipple quilting, easy and always looks good.
Oh Tracey, this quilt is such a beauty---LOVE it---and so will your dear friend.
So beautiful, Tracey!!

Fabulous! What a big group of scrappy love sprouts! Blessings to you Tracey!
It's very pretty!
I love the feel of that particular linen. It's so soft!
Wow! That is just gorgeous!
What a fun quilt. Looks like the kids love it too.
Oh! I'm so glad you posted this! I've been eyeing that yarn dyed flax and want to try it! It looks great and great quilt too. I might buy some of that linen now, thanks!
This turned out beautifully!
it's beautiful! I would do a leaf shape just inside the colored blocks - and do veins in them :)
This is just a WOW! quilt! Great job~!
wow tracey, this is awesome...i love how you offset those two rows. im definitely going to have to make one for our family now too.
looking forward to see what you do with quilting
I can't give you a suggestion because I'm not an expert quilter at all, but I just know how gorgeous your top looks! understand your kids I would do the same!lol
I'll be waiting to the final result!
The quilt is gorgeous! What about a meandering vine with leaves?
Looks so incredible. Glad to be a part of it. LOVE it with the linen.
Well done! It's a scrappy Orla!
Beautiful!! Maybe some simple vertical waves to accent the vine rows?
TOO much cuteness! I wish I could make that photo my "wallpaper"! You are blessed!
This quilt is so awesome and will definitely bless the recipient!! I want to make one.
I used your diagram and made this tablerunner for the Pantone 2013 Emerald Challenge.
