September is Orange

September's colour for Rainbow Scrappy Challenge is Orange.
 I dont use a lot of orange, mainly for kids quilts, so the scrap pile is fairly small.  I managed one star,
 and ten four patches.  There are a few more pre cut triangles, that I need to make a plan for.
 No orange in this quilt, but it is a flimsy finish! This is my second Vivid Grid quilt (pattern by Sharon McConnell) which appeared in the Spring issue of Quilts and More magazine.
I started and finished the blocks on Patchwork camp, so it was just a matter of sewing them all together.  The quilt is approximately 60 x 60" so I am just going to finish it as is.  I havent decided if I am up to quilting it myself, but as my shoulder hasn't been great, I will probably outsource it.  But need to find a backing first.  And  I am not sure how I will bind it...I have already used the left over jelly roll strips in another quilt!
Happy quilting Sue

  2. That's a terrific pattern. Orange seems to be a color many quilters don't have much in their stash. You seemed to make do.

  7. The palette to your "Vivid Grid" is subtle and beautiful...looks soft and glowing and more suitable for those of us heading into fall... :)
