My head is in a spin after finishing up this quilt top. Little did I realize what I had started. All of it was planned in my head, without sitting down to see if I could be more efficient in cutting or stitching. I just wish I had drawn up a plan to allow for some more strip piecing. As it is, the blocks are all pieced at random!
Some of the stats:
1,150 pieces
many hours cutting and pressing
quilt top measures 63 inches x 63 inches
I wish you could see the actual quilt, it is nowhere near as dizzying to look at, and the design is a lot more obvious.
For this quilt I used Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton in Snow rather than the usual White as the background sold fabric. The Snow colorway is a little warmer, more like a creamy white. The contrast between the solid and the prints is still strong. I am pleased with the overall look of the quilt, although I am not ready to move away from Kona White permanently.
Now for the backing; I am not sure if I am up for more piecing just yet!
