Welcome to the last day of the RUSH HOUR Blog hop. I know that everyone is so busy these days and time at the sewing machine can be scarse but for me this is my me time -- my therapy time so I am happy to be joining in with the Rush Hour Blog Hop hosted by Carol to help celebrate an awesome new fabric line by Studio E
I Haven't had the opportunity to get any as of yet but I do love the black, white red and grey color scheme and bold graphic prints so I could surely see some of this in my future. So to celebrate this color scheme I pulled some of my red, black, white and grey out to see what fun projects I could put together. In keeping with the theme of being in a hurry, I started with my scraps to be processed pile and was surprised at the fun things waiting in there for me.
reminded me to take time to take in the beauty in the world.

Katie, it turned out so modern and fun! Love all the free form designing within your quilt top. Very cool! The Zinnias are just beautiful. They are my favorite annual.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt, I love they way you designed on the go! Thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteWould you please add the other hoppers so we can find them as easily as we found you...thanks!
DeleteOh, yes, do slow down once in awhile to smell the flowers. I feel you pain of that long commute. I really enjoy improv quilting and your with the red, white, black, and gray fabrics is just wonderful. You do have some very fun fabrics in there. It will be a great quilt for your hubby's car.
ReplyDeleteImprov piecing looks great, it is a good looking quilt!
ReplyDeleteI understand the fabric was hard to find, but I much prefer to use what is already at hand and you did a lovely job with your improve and own lovely fabrics.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great Katie Quilt !
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. The flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt top and flowers! Thank you for sharing both with us :)
ReplyDeleteThat is really lovely and will be a wonderful quilt when finished.
ReplyDeleteI loved the theme of keeping it "rushed" and "ever-changing" ! You put all those together so well...I would have thought you had a pattern! GREAT JOB! Cant wait to come back and see how you finish it!
ReplyDeleteThere is so much gratification in making something from scraps! What a great way to stash/scrap bust and come up with a fabulous little quilt. Love the improve idea too... kind of clears the quilting cobwebs some times! LOL!! Great job! And yes we do need to take a little time and see the flowers!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! I find that I am heading into the direction of improv piecing and loving it! The flowers are spectacular! Thanks for the visual reminder to stop and notice the beauty.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of improv quilts I don't like. I do like yours. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteVery nice job on the quilt. Doesn't looked rushed at all. Looks perfect for relaxing with a cuppa.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt - I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers - are they zinnias??
Nice quilt! I need one for travel as well. Hubby is always warm and I am cold so that would help alot. Thanks for sharing the picture of the flowers so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! It's always nice to have a quilt in the car. You never know when you'll need it.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Another stash quilter! I especially like the camera and the little bundled-up-keeping-warm person at the bottom ~ what a fun quilt top. Thanks for sharing how quick we can make a grab-bag improv pieced quilt. The red flowers along the way add to the theme! This has been such a fun blog hop with great ideas. Thanks, Kathleen ~ Lane Hill House lanehillhouse[at]centurylink[dot]net
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a fabulous quilt. You are an inspiration...I would like to be able to take scraps and make something attractive! It does not look hard to do, but I just need the time!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt ... far too pretty to be stuck in a car.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really neat quilt for just improvising. Very creative and I like it! Beautiful flowers too.
ReplyDeleteUsing what you have has resulted in a lovely Rush Hour Quilt for car trips. Thank you sew very much for sharing and hopping. Creative Rush Hour Bliss...
ReplyDeleteLove the improv piecing on the quilt. It is sew beautiful and modern looking. And how wonderful that it was all in stash.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking quilt! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea-you created your own 'fabric". The finished result is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love me some gray black and white, but what is it about a splash of red that makes those colors pop???? Beautiful.
ReplyDeletewhat a nice top, it will be a perfect car quilt.
ReplyDeleteHi Katie! Thanks for your post! I love the randomness of your quilt. I hope you will show it again when it is quilted.
ReplyDeleteNice quilt - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove your improv quilt! Looks really stunning in these colors! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the red just pops in this flimsy! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteKatie, LOVE your quilt. I love scrap quilts; and although this one had a definite color scheme, it has that 'scrappy' appeal. I love it. BTW, I'm in Winston-Salem as well.
ReplyDeleteThe zinnias are glorious - I've never seen so many red at one time. Great way to make a quilt and filled with lots of freedom.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your quilt. It is always fun when you have just the right things. Love Zinna's, my favorite in summer.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried an improv quilt but it looks like fun. I love how yours turned out. I think the colour scheme it great!
ReplyDeleteGreat improve quilt that will be perfect in the car!! You did great :)
ReplyDeleteI like how you made your quilt. I bet that would be a great way to get rid of flannel scraps also. I have been hunting for ideas to make done flannel scraps for winter. Using the "rush hour color fabrics really make yours stand out. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty quilt. Will be great for the car.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at your quilt made from simply your stash!! I'm impressed!! This looks just like the Rush Hour fabric! BTW, my youngest sister lives in your neck of the woods. outside of Raleigh in a little town of Mebane. I think it is beautiful in your area and I love the flowers planted along and in the middle of I-40. You are a wonderful quilter...hope you hope with us more often
ReplyDeleteGmama Jane
Such a fun quilt. I love the process of how you put it together. It looks perfect to take along with you in the car. Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove the red poppy fabric. Good job.
ReplyDelete2 hours a day in the car, oh, you poor dear, you had/have some really great fabrics in your stash, they look great for this project.
ReplyDeleteI like, I like. And I so remember those long commute days. I don't miss that one bit. I knew that when Jammer came home I wasn't going to do that again. Now my commute is 5 minutes = much better.
ReplyDeleteLove your courage in the piecing of your quilt top... I have never attempted this style of quilting. To be honest, it scares me a little. I am impressed at how cute yours turned out. What a great quilt for the car.
ReplyDeletebeautiful quilt
