I changed out the light lavender 4 patch squares that were in the far left row and cut some more plain squares for a better match to fill into the rows that have 9 squares in them. Now I have to decide on setting triangles. I mentioned before that this was inspired by the Diagonal Madness quilt in one of the Kaffe books.
His is deeper toned and then has the added border of 9 patches. As much as I like the border, I'm not sure I'll put it on mine. I just wanted a fast, instant gratification quilt made of spare parts that were already sewn. I'll think about it and see what my company today says about it. My former co-workers from the quilt shop in Batavia are coming over. I left the job up there 11 years ago and we try to get together at least once a year.
Yours is definitely brighter. I get the urge to get it done. The 9 patch border really is spectacular though. That's when you have the 2 to compare. Once you chose a border for yours, I'm sure it will look wonderful an d then it will be done.
you have made good use of your scraps once again! I really, really need to sit down this winter and get busy cutting scraps, I took a whole bag with us on our trip and didn't cut one piece - I just didn't feel like it. I need to. Karen
Such a lovely look from a simple block. It is amazing what the color and fabrics can do when someone knows how to put them together!!!! I like the block border. It will be fun to see what your friends think.

I love the colors in this quilt. Very good use of your left over pieces.
ReplyDeleteI see so many patterns in this quilt. I really like the squares you put in with the four patches. This is great.
