What is a Surprise Quilt? Well, I would say it was a mystery quilt, but that is already taken. I found these blocks in a box I was going through. I was going to lay them all out and see what it looked like, however, they were all numbered, so I decided what the heck. I had already laid them out at one point in time. So, just sew them and see what happens. The colors in the photo are not nearly as pretty as they are in person.
I have a vague recollection that these were left over jelly row strips from another baby quilt I made. I just don’t remember laying them out and numbering them. It was also extremely neatly written, which is very odd for me. I am starting to think I have multiple personalities and one of them is the neat Quilter that lays thing out and meticulously numbers them. Not sure if I like this person or I am scared of her.
Anyway, I will put a back on this and I will have a baby quilt to donate or give away, which ever opportunity presents itself first.
Happy Sewing

This looks like summer sherbet colors! It’s a happy quilt and will make someone’s day.

I love the quilt and the colors. Multiple personalities are sometimes a good thing. It’s like having fairies doing some work while you aren’t looking. 🙂

It looks very nice 🙂 And as a reassurance: finding quilts you have no recollection of happens more often than you would think. A month ago I took some fabric of my mother for a quilt and there were pieces for a quilt in as well 😛

What a lovely surprise! I too have just rediscovered some strips in a pack of offcuts from a friend. Currently deciding whether to turn them into something!
