Finished quilt top measures 42.5" x 54.5"
I made a total of 63 blocks, 32 of which are nine-patch blocks. The finished size of each block is 6 inches.
Of course, I also pieced the quilt backing. It is made from more pieces of Amy Butler's latest fabric ranges ~ Daisy Chain and Midwest Modern.
The quilt is basted and ready for quilting. I am looking forward to endless rows of stitching, passing time as I count down towards this week's main event: The Craft and Quilt Fair in Melbourne!!
This looks GREAT and I can't wait to get started on my new one. I love how it looks without sashing and yet it still has white in it and makes the 9 patches POP!!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!:) Have fun this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI really like the twist you did with your quilt. It looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind if I borrowed your idea for a baby quilt for donation?
Love your blog,

Yep, you've done it again...I love this layout, fabulous xo
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty! And it has a lot of my favourite fabrics :)
ReplyDeletewhat a great solution!! i always liked how your blocks had a white center and this setting really works.
ReplyDeleteit looks amazing! i love how you made it your own. the pattern is beautiful. i look forward to seeing it quilted. you are so amazingly skilled
ReplyDeleteAs always, LOOOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Fabulous.!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks terrific. I think so often we forget the power of white--of "negative space" in our designs. I think that your design shows off the bold prints well, in giving them room to breathe.
ReplyDeleteNicely done! I've decided, however, that you don't sleep at night. Jealous, over here, of your boundless energy--

Just amazing Rita! I lvoe the white blocks, it freshens up the entire quilt! Hope to see you Thursday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as usual! I think what I like most about this quilt is the little coloured square you've put in the white boxes. They balance it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the fair :-)
It's verry FRESH, I like it!
ReplyDeleteOh, gorgeous! I love the positive/negative space thing you have going on. And the white makes it look so fresh and light, in spite of the richness of the colours.
ReplyDeletejust so fabulous Rita!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! Thanks for the inspiration as I get ready for a day at the office... THEN home to work on my Amy Butler quilt :-) Well done as always Rita!

ReplyDeleteI have been quilting since Oct 2008 and I thought I have done alot of quilts. I have following you from I think 3 weeks and look at all your work love all that you have done. You have the style of quilts that I loike to do. And it makes me sad that I can't do them as fast as you can. But thanks for sharing all your lovely work with us. What would I do now if I can't see what you have done.
ReplyDeleteThat's bright, but not too bright. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteIt's great the way your quilt came out. Today is the first for the next challange and I'm so looking forward to it. Thank you for the new inspiration. :o)
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! The white patches bring it to life.
