Finished just in time to be included in April is this Economy Block quilt made with Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics. When I started making these blocks I had no idea I would be using the Sharks Teeth print for sashing and binding. I also never imagined I would be using the pink pencil print for the border. They all work so well together.
This quilt ended up 64" x 80", a nice big throw quilt. It could be used as an extra cover on a bed but doesn't have enough drop on sides or end for even a twin bed.
The backing is a Martha Negley print, such a large print that it would be hard to use it cut up in little pieces.
I'm finishing up sewing the 6" triangles for my all triangle quilt top so that will be ready for my monthly recap tomorrow.
What a lovely finish--wow--two in April and they are big ones!!
ReplyDeletegood work!!
I have a really hard time cutting into some of my fabrics--but then, what in the world am i saving them for? :((( hugs, Julierose

ReplyDeleteThe quilt is lovely and a great finish and way to end April.
ReplyDeleteWas happy you posted twice today and to see your economy block quilt finished and glowing with fantastic fabrics. It really is another of your creative pieces that takes my breath away.
ReplyDeletePretty daffodils to bring inside for some spring time cheer. We had the coldest April in 70 years. And I think IL. had a cool April also, doesn’t sound like May is going to be much better with the predictions we are hearing.
Looking forward to see what you do next on the triangle squares.
