Officewarming!

I made a quick gift for a good friend the other day. She recently started a new fancy job, and has an office with a really great view and everything - so I made her a little something as an "officewarming" gift.

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...

Horizon Rock Candy


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!

  2. What 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.
