attic window quilt

I saw this quilt pattern for attic window in a better homes and garden patchwork & quilting book from 1977.
I saw it and I loved it. so I kept the book to save for when I could make the quilt. move ahead a few years and a friend was given a huge amount of quilting fabric from a fellow seamstress that was moving. in that stash there was quite a few batilk’s which my friend does not like so she let me have some.
I was really excited about the black with polka dots because it was perfect for the centers of the windows.
I went through my stash and found that if I tried really hard, and pieced just a few of the pieces together I had enough to make a lap quilt, which turned out to be perfect because I also had that size batting just sitting there wanting to be used.
in the book they show this quilt as a small wall quilt in a frame which looks really cute but I wanted a useable quilt, so I had to refigure for the bigger quilt, which was not hard. the piecing together was not hard at all. the only thing I wish I had done differently is made the top and side also have the points on them. but the pattern itself didn’t have the red and yellow at the top and one side. but to finish it off I wanted the colors all around. I still like the way it turned out though it looks really cool.

for the back I didn’t have one piece large enough so I pieced the back using the some fabrics I had.
so all in all I used just pieces of fabric I had left over lying around and the pieces given to me. even the batting was a left over piece. so all in all I made this from my stash. which is a good thing because I really need to use what I already have rather than buying new.
