I took an old quilt top with lots of issues and cut it up.
What a happy project to work on. The top has been done since October.
I hope to take it to get it quilted next month. I have another project in parts using more of the same old quilt. It's being patient with me.
To finish the quote: "The sum is greater than all of its parts." I agree.

It is quite stunning!!
What a very cool concept. Love it.
Once you bite the bullet and cut into a quilt top or flimisy.... its a very freeing experiance dont you think?
What a beautiful way to use an old quilt!
So nice,Stephanie!
I really like this Court House Steps blocks.
Oh so pretty! Love the retro-looking colors. How big is it? It would look great on my kitchen table!
what a joyful top ! WE all knew, you'd make something beautiful out of it :-)
Can't wait to see the other project
Lovely fabrics, lovely quilt.
Great change, you did a wonderful job.
What's old is new again and what a beautiful job you did.
I love the bright, happy colours.

Oh wow! Honestly... When you first said you were taking the old quilt apart I had some doubts about the outcome. However, I'm really blown away by your new quilt. It is perfect and there are so any different elements I love. The color pops, the background, the simplicity and yet very visual graphical effect. Beautiful Stephanie. Very inspiriring....
Wow!! I was wondering what the old quilt top was going to become. I really like the way you've highlighted the pieces from it. Also your use of lighter fabrics give it a vintagy feel. And of course love the polka dots in it!
I love this! Nothing better than polka dots to go with vintage.
such a great way to use good parts of an old quilt. Turned out great.
I can just hear the old quilt sighing with relief at it's bright new life! It's so bright and cheery! Great job!
Cheers!
That is amazing...love the color plan.
Love the bright mix of colors and patterns--great rescue mission :)
hi steph,love the quilt and nice vintage fabrics. wow sounds like you had an adventure trying to get home! glad you are well and abby is a happy girl! enjoy your day!
Wow, Stephanie! Love the fabric you chose. This is very cool.
I love the way you've incorporated the small bits of old quilt ... just enough to make you look twice and smile :) Wendy
It looks so pretty, I knew you'd do a great job!
So beautiful! I attended a lecture the other day and saw so many antique quilts that had been beautifully restored and hand-quilted. The speaker also cuts up old quilts when they are beyond saving the entire quilt. She has framed them and used bits and pieces in new quilts as you did.
What a great idea!
Super sweet, Stephanie!! Gorgeous colors and a wonderfully fun pattern!
