Char, that is such a cool quilt. I love it. What size are your squares? It looks as if they finish at 1 1/2". I like the white diagonals in the border.

That surely is a lot of squares!! Really, really pretty.

I don’t think I would want to work with such small pieces, and I admire those who do.

Beautiful quilt. I love controlled scrappy and that one is a winner!

That turned out great!

I love it, Char! It looks like two different white background fabrics - is it?

Donna

Donna, background is white & grey. I like the subtle contrast.

Char, I need to start looking more carefully at things. You know how before a top that has a lot of white in it is quilted, the seams show brighter that the rest? Well, I just assumed that's what I was seeing - without regard to the fact that seams are not that wide. Duh! What a clever way to add interest to a white background. I'll have to remember that.

I cant take credit for it. It was part of the pattern. 😁

WOW! That is a great quilt! And tons of tiny pieces. Bless you for sticking with it.

Char, I like that you didn't follow the pattern in using the black. I think the black looks out of place and just rude. lol It turned out really nice and happy looking. Good job.

It’s a stunning quilt. I can’t tell if it’s finished. Did you do the backing yet?

Maybe the black in the pattern is a nod to Amish quilting styles.

I'm going to baste it today, it is not sandwiched in the picture. Thank you all for your very kind words. I have not done alot of scrappy quilts, but after this one, I see more in my future. 😃👍

It is terrific! The blocks just pop and I agree, I'm glad you didn't use the black. Your color choices are always spot on. I love the planned checker border. I wouldn't have thought of that and would have done random, but this is so much prettier.

Love everything about it!

That is one fine quilt!

It is so beautiful!

Char, is there a place I can purchase a paper copy of the pattern/instructions for this lovely Scrap Magnet quilt?

I looked on the Bonjour Quilts website but found only a downloadable pattern. They did not have a phone number to call or a way to write.

At the moment my desktop is dead and I do not want to try to work from this silly little phone.

I found the owner's email on her website: Kirsty (at) bonjourquilts (dot) com. Ok, realize you probably found that. She lives in Australia, so mailing patterns is expensive.

I think all of her patterns are downloads. I think the whole pattern was maybe 10 pages. I hope you get your desktop up and running again...that's a drag🙁

Thanks for the info everyone.

I just emailed Ms. Kirsten. She is sending me a PayPal invoice; printing the pattern at her home, and mailing it to me! I can pay with PayPal. This is so kind of her.

I will get a replacement desktop after the new year, but I want this pattern now without having to go in the library.

Merry Christmas to me! 🎄

Beautiful - persistence pays off. Thanks for sharing the pattern author too.
