Finished quilt top measures 42.5" x 54.5"
I pieced the back of this quilt (of course!), and again used all Amy Butler fabrics. I must say I really love how the back of this quilt turned out. I think I like it just as much as the front and I intend to use this layout more often for quilt backs.
I again quilted with straight lines without any problems. It is a time consuming process, one that I always look forward to, but I am equally glad when it is over!
The binding fabric is from Amy Butler's Daisy Chain collection. It is called Water Garden - Forest. It is my favorite print from this range, and it is also the center fabric featured in the all the white squares in the quilt top. I again chose to machine stitch the binding with great success. Oh what a revelation!
I really love how it turned out - amazing job!
ReplyDeleteWOW Rita. Another fantastic quilt, the back looks fantastic. Hope to see you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIn my world, the back could totally be the front - so you have two quilts in one! Really gorgeous!

Love it, Love it, Love it. What a brilliant job you have done.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good! I have loved reversible quilts like this since I made Anni Downs 'Happy Days'. A fabulous idea that allows for little wastage.
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of fabric do you use for the white? and where do you buy it from?
Beautiful, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI just love it! But then I knew I would!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of doing a 9 patch this way. It is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us! I just discovered your blog this summer and always am happy to see a new post! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful. I love the white 9 patches - very original!
ReplyDeletebeautiful beautiful beautiful!!! I recently pieced a back of a quilt like that, and loved it so much I think I'll do more and more that way. It makes the quilt reversible, which is always a good thing!

ReplyDeleteit's beautiful! i LOVE how you did the back. gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with this quilt! The colors are simply beautiful and I love what you did with the nine patches!
ReplyDeleteI am a beginner quilter (just recently finished my first one, also a nine patch pattern) and I have a question for you. How do you press your seams to make them so crisp and flat? Mine seem to have some puffiness to them that then creates puckers in the quilting stage. Any advice on this you have to offer would be very helpful!
I'm working on the same quilt except with more muted colors (still need to build up my stash of bright colors).
