One down, one to go

I wasn't sure that I was going to get this little top done yesterday. I am more than 2/3 of the way through the book, I did 4 loads of laundry, pieced a quilt back, and caught up on the blogs that I was behind on. By evening though I was itching to sew. I was afraid this big print would look chopped up with all of the little strips I had to cut to make it all fit, but I don't think it looks bad. This little piece ended up 25.5" x 37".I had made 2 of each block so I have another set of them to piece with a different background print. I haven't decided which of the others that I will use for the second piece. I think I want the narrow border to be skinnier in the next one too.

    I love how that turned out. The background fabric doesn't look chopped up at all.

    The blocks look like they are floating above the background ,and not chopped up. Can't wait to see it in person.

    I really do like how it turned out. Really nice version. I think I would go for a narrow version of the skinny border too! I love your second favorite quilt in your side bar.

    That's so fresh and light! It has such a transparent and levitated character. Enchanting.

    I love the way this one has turned out! It will be interesting to see the same squares in a different background and shape.

    I love how that looks -- the blocks are floating on the background and, to me, the background does not look chopped up at all! Gorgeous beginning to 2009!

    This looks great! I can't believe how well that background works, I would not have predicted it. The squares look like they're vibrating, very cool.

    I used your sashing fabric as the backing for my Kaffe quilt.

    This turned out so pretty! That fabric worked perfect for the background. Makes me think of spring when everything starts to bloom.
