The 16 patch made with Nancy Crow fabrics is finished. This looks like a perfect fall and winter quilt to me. It is 62" x 78.5".
The backing is also a Nancy Crow fabric. This was my goal, to only use her fabrics for the whole quilt. I used Hobbs 80/20 batting and it was quilted by Robin Diaz.
I still have a considerable amount of Nancy's fabric but I have been mixing some of it into my color stacks. I have a pile of quarter yards I cut while I was cutting for this quilt so I might make another with these fabrics. I don't have an idea for a pattern yet so it is on the back burner.
I brought my pot of petunias into the garage last night because it was predicted to be at or below 32. I will put the pot back outside when it is safe and enjoy it a little longer.

There's a wonderful glowing quality to this quilt!
The colors in this quilt are fantastic! It reminds me of some trees in my neighborhood that are deep red right now. Congratulations on another finish!
We are actually on a warming trend until this weekend. This is the time of year we might expect our first freeze, but it's not in the forecast yet.
What a festive and happy quilt you've made and it seems there may be more similar waiting in your stash! It must be wonderful to have such an imagination as you have, Wanda!
Getting cooler here and was 35*F last night.
Hugs!
Definitely a fall and winter vibe - the backing is perfect for the top. Glad you are mixing some of her fabrics into your stash (rather than being kept apart).
The rich dark colors do make for a warm cozy feel ,you will enjoy this one for sure!
I had never heard of Nancy Crow until she appeared on your blog. I looked her up this morning and was surprised she’s only 82 years young. 🤗. Your quilt would make her proud ~ I’m sure of that ! Its a beauty.
I like the colors of that 16 patch - very pretty
I love your new quilt made of Nancy Crow fabrics. And it looks perfect for fall and winter. You must sew a hundred miles an hour!!
That's hard on the eyes, should come with a warning for epileptics.
What an obnoxious comment before me. I love it and agree that it's perfect for fall and winter.
You again show the wonder of the 16-patch. This is very beautiful quilt with the choices you made.
