The Christmas break was nice, I didn't have to worry about work or school, so I could spend lots of time quilting. In addition to finishing my Confetti quilt, which I'll show as soon as I can get a few good pictures of it, I also got most of my MQG Riley Blake Challenge quilt finished. A few more hours here and there this week and I managed to complete the top of my quilt.
I added in a solid purple and orange to go with the blue chevron and the orange dot. I plan on using the gray and white stripe for the binding. I did order more of the charcoal solid from Riley Blake for the background, but the rest pretty much was from the bundle provided. I did steal my aunt's blue chevron fabric since I needed a bit more of that because I didn't want to change the direction of the fabric.
After I finished the top, I realized the blue chevron fabric really gave the pinwheels a lot of movement, a very pleasant surprise. Now to think about how to quilt this bad boy up. Hmmmm...

I do like that movement created by the chevrons. So much fun.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great and I love the movement!
ReplyDeletegreat design! I like the big and small pinwheels, makes me want to work on my challenge quilt! good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe blue chevron gave me grief--you solved it so well with direction in the pinwheels! Your orange with the dot looks good too. Well balanced motion and rest.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great combination! I always get nervous when I try color combinations outside my comfort zone, but you're giving me confidence to try a new color scheme. - Best, Kate
