Well, from start to finish, that was a fun quilt to make. I love classic patchwork, and when you combine that with my love for color and fabric, you know that I have spent the week in my quilting paradise.
Quick Quilt Stats:
2.5 inch finished squares.
540 patchwork squares.
Cotton fabric, thread, and batting.

Quilt measures 50 inches x 67 inches.
120+ different fabrics from stash including fabrics
that are now hard to find, but also many current designer fabrics
that I think you will recognize.

Quilted with intersecting horizontal and vertical lines (ditch stitching all seam lines) creating a 2.5 inch grid of lines as well as a set of diagonal lines that cross through every second patchwork square, thereby adding texture without affecting the quilt design, nor the use of fabrics.
For the back of the quilt I have used my current favorite backing fabric ~ Newsprint from the Paint Collection by Carrie Bloomston matched with my favorite binding fabric ~ black and white stripe by Timeless Treasures. A winning combination.
This quilt was listed in my Etsy Store, and was sold prior to publishing this blog post. It is now making the long journey to it's new owner.
I have made a start on my next quilt project - a custom order - and have photos to show you soon.
As always, thank you for stopping by,
Rita
