Here it is:
My month was March and I knew I wanted to do the rainbow colors since I had done a swap at the end of 2012 on flickr. My first on line swap as well. I love that! All those pretty fabrics and colors and I only had to buy one yard. That seemed like a great plan! I then scoured the internet to figure out the perfect block. This block is called the Depression Block. I was a little worried about all the HST's but everyone did a great job.
Here are some close ups of a couple of my favorite blocks(really there isn't one I don't love)!
There are actually 14 people in our MMQG bee so I had to only had to make six extra since I wanted it bigger. I still have a stack of charms remaining for another rainbow project!
For the back I used a piece I had bought last year with the quilt in mind but of course didn't have enough so I used up the black and white prints.

I knew I had wanted to do a black and white and had just bought the one from the Architecture line. Not necessarily for this project just to have. Now I wish I would have bought more!
I know a lot of pictures!
Last one!
Quilt finished at 67" x 82"
Really no good name. Hopefully that will come to me.

Very pretty! Lots of pictures is always good in my opinion :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Love all the colors. For a name suggestion, how about something to do with diamonds are a girl's best friend? Kind of corny, but catchy! Of course, that's a name that would depend on who's getting it. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt :). I love the colours and the pics. You can never have too much photos :).
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Great photos of a gorgeous quilt. You got such an amazing spectrum of blocks from your beemates! I am with you on that Architextures crosshatch. I wish I had laid in a whole bolt of that stuff. It is great background fabric too! A perfect binding choice for this quilt.
