2015 Leader Ender Quilt

YAHOO….I made my deadline. My 2015 Leader Ender quilt top was finished on December 31st, 2015. Just in the nick of time.

My inspiration was Bonnie Hunter’s ‘Bricks in the Barnyard’ quilt from her ‘Scraps & Shirttails II’ book. Of course, I decided to change up both the layout of the block and the quilt. The result was a quilt that is similar but different from Bonnie’s.

You may have noticed that I have a RSC16 button on the right side of the main page. I have decided to join the Rainbow Scrap Challenge for 2016. Some of the fabrics have been chosen and I hope to find some time in the next week to sew up a few blue/purple blocks for January. Take a peek and see what all of the fun is about here. There will be ‘Linky Parties’ so that you can see what everyone else is doing.

Check out my ‘Linky Parties page to find some fabulous blogs where I share my projects and get inspiration.

I LOVE your version of this quilt! I tend to shy away from a lot of the fabrics you’ve used, but I’m inspired now to give them a try!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting. Using the recycled men’s shirts is a bit of stretch for me…. I tend to brighter colors but I have to say that I enjoyed the process and the results. Check out my ‘quilts’ page and see the other quilt I made with men’s shirt called ‘Ralph Lauren’ in 2014. Micki

I haven’t gotten into the shirting for background yet, but I love the effect. I also like your asymmetrical version and your pieced border a lot.
