First finish for April 2019.............
I finished the top of this quilt last year on May 22 so the quilt was finished in less than a year. I love the fabrics in this one. This is the second quilt with this group of fabrics and HERE is the other one. There are fabrics from the early 1990s, Stonehenge fabrics, a Tim Holtz fabric, and a piece of Millennium (2000) fabric as well as many more purchased in the last 30 years. There are 64 different fabrics in it.
It is 53.5" x 72".
The back is a nice taupe fabric with a little insert of one of the fabrics that is in 2 of the blocks. I was short just that little bit from using all one fabric.
Here it is pulled back a little more so you can see the size of the insert. Click on the photos for a larger view.
The 4 lines of quilting in each 2" column look really great. I used a taupe color thread both top and bottom on my longarm.
This photo is taken with light just coming from one side so you can see how much texture it has.
The last date to sign up for my online Colorwash 360 class is next Sunday, April 7. For more about the class, go to Saturday's post.

The quilt turned out beautiful!
The quilt colors and texture are so comforting. It was a vintage quilt (because of the fabric) before it was even made- kind of funny. Love the quilting.
Great color combinations!
Thanks for the closeup of your longarm quilting. I had a question about the long line of quilting and this picture answered it. It’s a beautiful quilt and the quilting enhanced it.
Beautiful, unusual, restful, and a blend of elegant and casual at the same time. A great way to begin a new month!
Thanks for the quilting closeup! I feel another sixteen-patch coming on and your straight-line quilting (a little wonky but not much) is a great idea.
Whoot Whoot!! That was a fast finish ( you know since April is only a day old ha ha) i LOVE this quilt too! the colors are so cool!
Great post today Wanda... Enjoyed all your detailed photos of this quilt. Was mesmerized with the last photo of how the quilting photographed.
