I used a mini charm pack of Horizon by Kate Spain and revisited my mini Rock Candy Quilt by Jaybird Quilts. It didn't take long at all to put this together, I feel like the longest part was deciding on how to lay out the pieces!
I first looked at a random-ish layout...
Then I used the more saturated fabrics for the inner bit and radiated out....
Then I did the opposite of that...
And we have a winner!
And here is the finished product!
I quilted it with straight lines overlapping in the center with Aurifil 3840, a really pretty variegated purple. I machine stitched the binding and it was done!
very effective the way you have graded the colours
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gift! It's fun to see your different color choices. You are right--deciding on the layout can sometimes be the longest part of a project.
ReplyDeleteLove the one you finished! Fun to see the other options! I need to make some small items to try out new designs!
