The name of the quilt is “Sparkler” and it will definitely sparkle with all these colors. As was pointed out to me last night, this probably wasn’t the best fabric choice . . by some standards, but I love it!
Sparkler
And, before anyone tells me to start moving this block or that block . . this is probably less than one-third of the blocks I will need and I just slapped these up there, kinda color coordinated but these are truly just slapped up there. As of now, there are 36 blocks made. The next two strips I cut will give me more red and I’m anxious to see how that will play out.
I really like it!
Roberta says
Actually I think it’s pretty good fabric choice. But then I’ve only done one of these quilts. I do have fabric for more but been finding other patterns to try first. 😉
Hugs!!!!
Cherie in St Louis says
I’m not sure I agree this wasn’t the best choice….I think it’s fabulous because you really see the strong “lines” of color that show the twirl of the blocks. I love it too 🙂
Karen says
this is going to be a great scrappy quilt!
Sherry V. says
I think the fabric choice is great. There is alot of variety which gives you alot of different block designs. . . . and it all seems to happen just like “magic”.
How old did you say this fabric was???? I might need to get some yardage so that I can play with it too! LOL
Terri says
I think it looks great so far. I thought this type was “the busier the better”. And it looks just like a sparkler!
Dot Murdoch says
I think the fabric is working up great….. That’s the fun in making this kind of block…..You never know just what you are going to get….Keep going,….It will be wonderful….Dot M.

Sparkler is P E R F E C T for this quilt! I have not done one of these yet, but it’s on my list. Beautiful work, as usual.
Pat says
Beautiful and it will be a real JUDY quilt and not one by committee!
Louisa says
It’s not so much “good” or “bad” fabric choices here, as what kind of effect are you looking for. If you don’t have a preconceived idea of what you want and just wait to see what happens, it’s all good! This one has LOTS going on – great fun!
Rosalie says

Tina in NJ says
I envy you the enthusiasm you feel right now. I’ve already made one of these quilts, so I guess I’ll just have to find something else to play with. Actually, there are some log cabin blocks calling my nam…
Joan says

I had never seen a OBW quilt until I read your post yesterday. I’m definitely going to have to order the book and make one. Yours is so pretty! It reminds me of the kaleidoscope I loved as a child.
SaraF says
I think this was a fabulous fabric choice – lots of variety of color and shape. Love the name you chose.
Marylou says
I can see those beautiful sparkler blocks alternated with black!! It would be stunning that way AND you wouldn’t have to make so many more blocks!!

Time to unfriend someone, the quilt is great. If you are happy, so be it, Nuff said.

Cool! I really love the blocks in the lower left. I think, in the end, you should put it together any way YOU like!

I really like those red stripey ones in the lower left. But they are ALL pretty!

Great fabric choice. Look at all the variety.

You’re playing with quilts again Judy. Sounds like you are having fun!
Deanna says
You seem happy to be sewing again! Sometimes a new type of project is just what we need to like that spark again.
ruth says
It’s stunning.
Lesley g says
I started a one block wonder in 2008 and for various reasons didn’t finish, this week I am taking another course to finish it! The new one includes 3D blocks which we worked on today.
Yours lookes gorgeous and I’m sure it will be spectacular!
rachel says
I am really liking it!!! I love bright colors so that is right up my alley!!! Glad you are having fun!!!!
Donna says
I am absolutely loving this quilt. So much motion and variety makes your eyes move all over the quilt. Great Job!!!
Jo says
Good on you. I just bought my fabric today and can’t wait to do my class
Julie says
It looks great. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Sue S says
I agree with the people who say it’s stunning! I can see it with more red being even more dynamic. You could quiet down the edges with a solid border and the center would really pop. Good to see the sewing again, and great job!!
CindyM says
FUN FUN FUN!!! And for someone who doesn’t use that many prints… you are making up for lost time! *L*
Shauna T says
I think it is coming together wonderfully. Your choices are bold and that is great. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
Regina says
I think if YOU like it than it is a good fabric choice! I LOVE it!!! I made one for last Christmas that I liked OK until I started putting the blocks together – then I hated it – then I quilted it -then I liked it again. I do want to do another sometime…
Eileen says
It’s beautiful!!!!
