My Division Quilt: Finally Using My Denyse Schmidt Stash

Hello, my quilty friends!

My Division quilt is DONE! I actually got it back from my quilter a month ago, but I've been so busy that I hadn't been able to finish it. So I took it along to our family reunion, bound it at the campfire, and then brought it on a short hike for a picture. 🏕️😬

The pattern

The pattern is Division by my friend Andy at A Bright Corner. It's been on my list ever since I watched her whip it up in what seemed like just a few hours one afternoon at a quilt retreat in Idaho. She is a super fast quilter, and this pattern is so simple and fun, it had me believing I could be half as fast as Andy! 😂 It's fun, fast and easy! 🏆

Using the fabric I've been saving

I dug into my beloved Denyse Schmidt stash for this quilt, and I love it even more because of that.

Use the good stuff. Last year I decided to start using the fabric I've been saving that I love so much, instead of just letting it sit on my shelf. My family uses and loves the quilts I make, so why not put more love into them in the first place, right?

Debbie (@hobblecreekquilting) quilted it with a design called Soho. And I backed it with one of my favorite florals!

Make your own

You can find the Division pattern in Andy's shop at A Bright Corner.

Love a fast, scrappy quilt? My Economy Stars pattern uses 20 fat quarters, and every one gets cut the exact same way, so it's a great way to use the prints you've been saving too.

Happy sewing, my quilty friends!
