It has been some busy days sewing the postage stamp quilt top.
Totally obsessed by the 2,5 inch / 6 cm squares, I managed to finish the quilt top last night. I wanted to put a little twist to it by adding the brown and very dark green borders and the 6 inch strips between the two borders with 9-patch blocks in each corner. For the outer border I have used 10 inch strips from the leftover different brown fabrics.
Brown isn't exactly 'my' color, not many in my stash, so I don't think I have enough brown fabrics for the binding.... I have enough of green though... I shall see.......
I have to follow my SSD! If you don't know what that means?? Strict Stash Diet! :)
I still haven't found suitable fabric for the backing, I'll have to check my stash.
My aim is to finish all the three quilt tops I have finished recently, but I don't think I have enough batting for the polar bear quilt...........

This looks stunning! I can't believe how many tiny squares there are
The colours work so well together and I really like the use of piano keys and squares in the borders.
A truly wonderful quilt!
Love the quilt design and the colors are very soothing...hopefully you will have enough browns to piece a binding together.
Teppe er kjempe lekkert, rammene gjør at bitene kommer frem på en flott måte. Gratulere
OMG!!! This is really pretty! Well done Astrid! Now' I'm really tempted to do the QAL next year! :)
Oh wow! That is fast and it looks so good!!! Love the patterned strip you put in the centre, makes it more interesting. Well done, Astrid. You surely inspire many of us.
I like that layout with the inner border being different than the postage stamps.
Astrid, what a beautiful quilt! I hope you are able to keep this one for yourself. I love what you have done with the strips, 9 patch blocks, and the sashing in between all of that. Love the colors, too. You are so talented!

Du verden så fint det ble når du "brekka opp" rutene med rammer!! Det ga en spennende effekt til teppet ditt, kjempefint og kreativt:) Klem fra Trine
Vad fint det blir!!!!
Om du ser i Sölvis blogg...hon har sytt ihop baksidor av "resttyger". Mycket trevligt faktiskt.
WOW! Totally awesome! I like the way you broke it up with the striped border and the dark "frames". What a terrific quilt!
