Impromptu Maddering...
The other day after showing the madder humble little doll quilt, I felt the urge to make it!! Instead I worked on the medallion, getting most of the border machine appliqued.
Today I could resist no longer!! Want to join in? This afternoon I played with Electric Quit and pulled some madder/red/brown from my stash.
Here's the little quilt again..take a look and pull some fabrics and I'll be back tomorrow with the block instructions.

You have chosen perfect fabrics!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll play.
ReplyDeleteOh boy! I'm off to look through my stash.
ReplyDeleteI have a "no-sew" week due to other responsibilities, but I will certainly catch up later! I am laughing at myself as I look closely at the quilt, asking myself, "Will you really be able to copy this, doing things that look like mistakes and just leaving it that way?" *LOL* Someone here needs to loosen up. : )
ReplyDeleteThose are great fabrics for it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the new winners.
Now, that is a nice pile of fabrics!
ReplyDeleteGoodness Lori! I think this little quilt will be a very nice sister quilt to Abundance ... maybe more of a tanned sister. LOL!! You bet I'm in. Did you mention applique border in your medallion QAL? I'm shivering ...
ReplyDeleteI had pinned this charming little quilt with thoughts of reproducing it myself. Maybe that will be my April mini!
ReplyDeleteyou have a very good eye Lori, I love the reds and then my eye takes me to a little pink and then a little blue- just lovely.
ReplyDeletewaah I wish I could cause I love the look of that dolly quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm too too busy with housing issues right now.
I can't wait to see what ya'll do
I can't wait to see how yours comes out. Love the wonky look in the antique piece.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
I love all those fabrics you pulled out, love them!
ReplyDeleteBut what a madder? Is that a brown? I've never heard of madder fabrics before.
I missed Abundance - don't think I can miss this one!!! It is such a sweet one!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings
I'm with Brandie here...what's a madder? Maybe you could do a blog post on colors. Like, what is turkey red? poison green? Etc. Food for thought anyway!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so glad your making it I love it and maddens are my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKathie
Impromptu quilts can be some of the funnest!
ReplyDeleteI love th e blue/gray pieces in this little quilt... I'd have never thought of that, but it's the perfect accent to the madders. I have collected quite a few Madder reds and browns and have been thinking of finally doing something with them. Thanks for the inspiration , once again!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! I'm heading straight to my stash to pull some fabrics. Thanks Lori - this will be the perfect distraction :0)
ReplyDeleteLove madder prints!
ReplyDeleteYour title "impromptu maddering" reminds me of a line from Mrs Doubtfire where she/he pegged some obnoxious guy in the head with an orange and swore it was a "drive by fruiting"
Maybe I'll have to join in with a "drive by maddering"!!

PS Brandie...Madder prints come a dye process using the madder root resulting in reddish browns. Different colour variations from copper to almost black come from different mordants used in the dye process.
I'm in. Time to do something for ME. I skipped Abundance and Mountain Trails (though I still want to make them). It's definitely time to follow along again. Love the wonkiness and charm of this little quilt. I have browns pulled out and waiting for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw that little quilt the other day, I did think it would be a fun one to make, you must have read my mind LOL!!!! I'm glad you have decided to go with this and share it, another 'little wonder' to make and love!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd be doing this little quilt. I'm in. Even though I've got so much going I can't resist doing one of your quilt a longs. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh I had so much fun while doing Abundance (it was my first time of following along) that I want to do this one too. I might drag behind a bit as we are in renovations mode but ... I will send you a photo eventually, lol. Thanks Lori for sharing the fun.
ReplyDeleteYayyy!!! Another QAL! I'm in for sure!
ReplyDeleteI'm in - this is another great choice for a quilt along!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Such a perfect choice! Will we be making it crooked and wonky an d sweet? Looking forward to the challenge!
ReplyDeletecharmingly humble~!
ReplyDeletei've been out of town way too much and am behind on everything but i will try to pop into the studio long enough to see what fabrics i have that would work up into this cutie . . .
