Is it soup yet? Almost! This is the quilt top formerly known as "Miss Alaynee." After simmering on the back burner for a very long time I began to think of it as a rich soup that was only getting better with time and more added ingredients; hence, the name change. It still needs one bottom row attached before the two pieced borders and it will ready for a date with Sundance. The pattern for this one is from Judy Martin's book: Cookies 'n' Quilts. My recipe has been adapted to include lots of spicy prints and a good deal of simmering time, this one bubbled in both bins and boxes before one additional month+ on the design wall. It's just the kind of comfort needed for a cold and blustery January day.Life is Good!

That is the beauty of scrap quilts - you can adjust the spices as you go along. This is beautiful.
Oh pretty, I like the brightness of it, simmering has added beauty! Thank you for sharing and inspiring yet again! Have a wonderful weekend!
Love the top. What quilting pattern do you plan to use?
This is my favorite kind of quilt ... one that evolves over time!
That pale inner border is inspired!

Very nice, I like the light scrappy border.
What a pretty scrappy quilt!
I like how you combined the fabrics and the colors. Is this made from scraps? You know I think I had the same Judy Martin book once upon a time before I went on a fifteen year quilting hiatus. LOL
