Happy Friday, quilters! I actually have a personal quilt to show off this week. I made this for a friend's birthday earlier this year.
The pattern is a free one from Generation Quilt Patterns. I made 14" sq blocks set on point. This does require partial seams around the center block, but still quite simple and quick to assemble.
The blue fabric was an ombre and I cut strips horizontally (the opposite of usual) in order to get a range of blues. Laying it out in order to keep the blues in order was a bit of a challenge but it worked out.
I looked for a fun backing fabric and found this one full of wizards and faeries. It was more turquoise than it had looked in the photos, but still works. I don't make personal quilts very often these days, so this was a fun one!

The chain design on that quilt is beautiful. Very bold.
