Here's is the quilt that I kept talking about...I love this quilt, I think it is so fun! It's totally the fruit stripe gum quilt to me; do you think the Wrigley corporation will come after me for calling it that? Hope not. Can you think of a better name? I'm open to all suggestions.
A few things about this quilt
- Again, these blocks are sewn on to non-fusible/non-woven interfacing. Can you imagine trying to deal with all of those bias edges?
- I used a flip and sew method to create the blocks
- What unites the block? The use of the same color family throughout the block. You can use quite a bit of leeway in this, just make sure they are in the same family.
- What unites the quilt? The consistent use of white throughout. All kinds of whites, many white on white scraps were used.
Here's a close up of a section
See that yellow stripe right above, with the bunny? That is a leftover from my son's baby quilt I made before he was born. Five quilts down in my One Mountain, Ten Quilts project; five more to go...I hope you are enjoying this adventure. It's been fun sharing these quilts with you!
Happy Friday,
Cherri

I love it! It totally reminds me of the gum! I think you chose a perfect name for the quilt.

I think that is the perfect name for that quilt. I remember fruit striped gum - do they still make it?

Love it! The name is the right name for it.

I absolutely love this quilt! I am going to make me one now. Thanks for a grand idea to use up some scraps! :)

Maybe your quilt will inspire Wrigley's to bring back the fruit striped gum. I totally forgot about that gum until now. Too funny!

I had forgotten all about that gum until I saw this. It brings back childhood memories. I love where you are going with the quilt and the color choices.

absolutely gorgeous!
what a great idea!

What a cheery quilt, Cherri. I am not familiar with that gum so "Tutti Frutti" comes to mind as a title. Happy Easter to you.

Can you share the name of the non-fusible, non-woven interfacing? I've been looking for a product like that.
Love the quilt!
