Yes, it really was time to move this project forward! I fell in love with Tula's fabric making these blocks. Selecting the right setting was critical and I decided to go with one right from the book. It was very slow going with lots of pieces and pinning but I couldn't be happier.
I played with the block placement for a very long time! The blocks lived on my design wall for months. As noted in the blog posts, I built the blocks without a specific color plan in mind. Each block was lovingly constructed as I allowed her artwork to inspire the fabric choices. This meant a layout with a defined color scheme was not going to happen.
Next I have to baste this very large quilt! Then onto quilting! Just think how many pictures will be in the post when I finish this quilt! Apologies in advance!

Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is stunning! I love the setting and the photos are terrific!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing this with the colors mixed rather than the rainbow layout. I'm nervous about seeing all my blocks together! Just beautiful work as always, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteYour sashing is brilliant! I love love this quilt ; )
ReplyDeleteabsolutely amazing - you should be very proud !!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous setting. I love how many different fabrics you used, too.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the first quilt of this design that I've seen finished. It's stunning
ReplyDeleteA wonderful finish! I love your setting and the overall scrappy look about it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty!
ReplyDeleteWow|!! That is one awesome quilt top .... can't wait to see the finished product. I love Tula Pink fabric but have yet to use any .... my scraps and stash need to get used up a bit more first.
ReplyDeleteWow. Fantastic achievement! So much to see. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful--nice color scheme...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I did one of these in solids. A fun project. I love the setting you used.
ReplyDeleteFantastic quilt! I love those blocks but the sashing really plays them up. No worries about lots of pics, this is one that I'd love to see more of. Beautiful! (Can't wait to see the quilting.)
ReplyDeleteKathy! This is fabulous!!! The picture where a smidge of the hammock shows - it's like the trees changed colors *just* to give you the perfect backdrop. ahhhh
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the finish and all those pictures :-)
Enjoy your gorgeous Fall ~ Tracy
Congrats on finishing this beautiful quilt top. I really like the setting you ended up choosing. Your pictures show it off so well. Is that your black stand? I have been thinking about getting one.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! The setting is great. I like how it gives each block the ability to be enjoyed on it's own as well as part of the top. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out amazing! I love the setting even if it was a pain. It's going to be amazing once it's finished. P.S. I would have done anything to sit in that hammock on the water looking at your quilt all day :)
ReplyDeleteThat sashing looks SO GOOD!! Worth the time and effort. Beautiful!
