It's my day on Bea's blog hop and I just might be a rule breaker or a cheater...
I dusted off plenty, but for this hop it's not a quilt book.
In fact, I have quit buying books and magazines, because there is just so much online and I don't have the life expectancy to finish all the things I have saved to do already! LOL!!
Here is one of my bookshelves after I took magazines apart and only saved the patterns that I knew I might do someday. Then came along the internet patterns and things began to get out of control.
Bigger binders and folders were bought.
My project is one that's been on my list of to-do's for a very long time...
I have been hording my hand dyes for this one as well, so what better time to get it together and do it.
Here's couple of the blocks I made as a trial, to make sure it was going to be what I envisioned.
After a "LOT" of piecing and arranging and before borders, I was satisfied with the layout.
This one was a tough one to photograph. It's 108" x 108" so I took advantage of the Arctic Blast that came through a few weeks ago to take photos of this one, too. It as only 15 degrees out, but the sun and snow really made the colors pop, so it was worth it.
I am over the moon happy with this finish.
Hopefully it inspires you to dust off something in your stash, and bring it to life!
Thank you Bea for letting me play along and for pushing me to "get 'er" done.

gorgeous simply gorgeous...another solids lover!
ReplyDeleteWell that is just a stunner!! The pattern and your finish are so different by changing the background - I love your choice! and go you - a king sized quilt - we will give you the overachiever badge od the day haha!! I like how you store all your patterns and ideas!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutedly gorgeous with all of those hand-dyes! A wonderful finish, indeed!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is gorgeous and it was a great idea to use a magazine clipping. I have binders like that too, and then in the auction lots I get from quilters' estates, I get THEIR binders. Sometimes we have saved the same pattern! But often there are totally new-to-me patterns that I now want to try too. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteYou rocked those hand dyed fabrics on this one!
ReplyDeleteI’ve apparently become anonymous…whoops.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! Well worth using those precious hand-dyes.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's just stunning as can be, the colors just jump off the black perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI would have never imagined the fabrics you selected by justing looking at the pattern. It is gorgeous! Well done.
