I sewed the last 3 seams and pressed this 16 patch quilt top and did the staystitching around the edge. I'm glad I spent a little more time with the layout because there were 2 areas that were bothering me and now I really like it. It is Autumn Coneflower 2, a remake of a top that I sold back in 2013. I didn't do an exact reproduction, just the general feel. Here is the post with the original quilt. I just realized I made this new quilt top one row longer than the original and I like the proportion better.
Last night I made 5 more blocks of the free Moda pattern Simply Woven and used more light colors. It looks a lot better now. I will pull more fabrics to finish up the next 10 blocks and it will be a small quilt 48" x 60".

Love the colors of Coneflower 2! Truly exuberant!
The coneflower top turned out so pretty! I got the cora bells planted. I let them soak in a bucket of water and they handled the trip fine. Those big ones are huge! Thanks so much!
Coneflower 2 is really a lovely piece--beautiful colors--lights and darks moving in and out...nice work hugs, Julierose
Beautiful, Wanda! The colors are so rich... a last blaze of autumn before winter's stark contrast takes hold. This will be a quilt to warm someone's winter night, snuggled on the sofa before a crackling fire.
BEAUTIFUL quilt top - Coneflowers 2 is spectacular. The Simply Woven blocks look good.
Love your 16-patch finish. The color transitions work really well.

Love your 16 patch quilt! The colours transition smoothly over the quilt, very effective!
LOVE this quilt!!! The colors are magnificent!!!!!
I searched for Simply Woven on the Moda website but couldn't find it. Is there more to the name or another name for it? Thanks, JoAnne
Never mind, Wanda. I found it under Moda Bake Shop!
Both of these are wonderful. Love all the colors with the 16-patch and the woven look with the beautiful cool colors.
