2 finishes for the month. The Spring Pastel 16 patch is 63" x 79" and the Economy Block quilt is 64" x 80". The Economy block was fun because it is made of all 6" components, center square, quarter square triangles and half square triangles. I used a combination of Studio and GO dies to cut the pieces.
The quilt top on the left is from 30 years ago and just needed side borders to make the proportion a little better. It is 38.5" x 54" so it will take just one width of fabric for the back. It will probably be the first finish in May. The mottled batiks 16 patch is 56" x 72". The Triangles Times Four quilt top was finished last night. I like the structure of the grid of 2", 3", 4" and 6" triangles but also like unpredictability of the design because of the value changes. It is 54" x 72".
Most of the batik fabrics used in this quilt top were uglies, muddy prints, or just plain strange colors. The all over look however is nice. There are only a few pretty batiks that can claim to be the stars in this one. The design is the real star.

Great works--nice finishes for April..hugs, Julierose
they all look so colorful and pretty
Wonderful quilts! Thanks for the info.
I have some muddy prints in my stash that I need to deal with too. The economy block piece with its black and white sashing so fits the name of your blog. It's beautiful!
Wonderful Sunday post Wanda, plus round up of April finishes and quilt tops. Each creation has a beauty of its own.

You had a good month! The Triangles Times Four turned out wonderful!
I Find myself returning to this post to revisit the Economy Block quilt. It makes me so very happy to look at it. There's such a positive energy about it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I love your triangles times four. It just sparkles. Batiks are my favorite fabric.
