This is the second quilt I have made with this color scheme (first was the Squirrely Triangles quilt) and I am starting to run low on these colors. I still haven't grown tired of it, though.
This quilt includes one of my favorite prints of all time, this one from Tula Pink's Saltwater collection, along with a lot of scraps from Hawthorne Threads scrap packs. Happily, all the white in this quilt was gathered from scraps!
I quilted it with what is rapidly becoming one of my favorite FMQ designs, the square spiral from Angela Walter's book. It makes a good alternative to stippling for equally dense and quick quilting.
The quilt finished at a little over 65" square. I had initially intended to make it bigger but thought better of it, so the last 3 nine patches ended up on the back. I think I like the back almost as well as the front!
It's bound with a yellow solid, washed, dried and ready for use.
Linking up to Crazy Mom Quilts Finish it Friday.
It's so bright and happy! The quilting is so balanced with the top! I love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd you had all the needed white from scraps! Lucky girl!
I love these colors too. Lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors, love this quilt!
ReplyDeleteLol! Love the pattern, I think Carla linked to mine for the original. Great use of colours!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this pattern before, I really like how it breaks up the 9 patch. Also, a big fan of your color scheme!
ReplyDeleteLoved your squirrely triangles...LOVE this one too! Scrap pack, of course! MUST try one!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat twist on the 9-patch. Love the wonky window pane look the white creates. I think the back looks pretty cool, too. It's like having 2 quilts in one. Great finish!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. The colours are very summery - sand and water. And I really like it when the back of a quilt looks equally as good as a quilt top.
ReplyDeleteI love how a simple cut and restitch freshens up the 9-patch. Did you come up with this? Kudos to you!!! I am so tempted to stop everything I am doing right now to try this out. I am your newest fan!!!
