My red and aqua quilt is all finished and I thought you’d like to see.
I think this was my longest lived WIP. I blogged about it here and here. 2009 – 2012. Oooh it feels good to get this stack of blocks off of my WIP shelf. Yes, I have a whole shelf. It’s a SMALL shelf though!
The finished quilt measures 56” x 69”
The disappearing nine patch variation that I chose to use was this one:
I used a Riley Blake print for the binding. It’s from the Sugar and Spice line and I believe the print is called Blue Argyle. There is a bit out there for sale online. My local quilt shop had about a 1/4 of a bolt left, so check your local shop and see if they still have some. It worked perfectly as a binding for this quilt!
I enjoyed doing this red/aqua swap. I’d do one again. I’d even consider hosting one. I think maybe a gray/yellow swap?
My red/aqua quilt is listed in the shop.
I’m linking up:

ReplyDeleteI love the variation on the disappearing nine-patch! I've done a few, but never that layout. Looks great! Nice color combo, too!
ReplyDeleteThe bright colors that comprise this quilt makes it so comfy to sleep at. I think you wouldn't need natural sleep aids just to get sleep with these quilts.
