Default My What was I thinking quilt! aka ... The Color Crystal Quilt

Firstly, while I visit the board daily and comment I have really fallen behind on posting some of my things, so I am going to correct that today!! This quilt from the start to finish probably took 3 years.

I bought this quilt kit from Craftsy just before they went out of business - and a side note here - I absolutely despise making HSTs, This became known around the house as the "What was I thinking" quilt. The directions ran something like this .... make 280 HSTs using these colors 180 HST using these colors 180 2.5" squares of this color ..... and on it went. I took a vacation after making 30 "Block A"s. "Block B" got accomplished about 6 mo later and then they sat.... staring at me in their respective piles. In the beginning of 2025 I decided they needed to be assembled and matching the seams and points were a never ending task but then the center was done. then next direction was make "9 million" HSTs (slight exaggeration lol but again I really dislike making HSTs) using navy and white - well the quilt was already big enough , so I took a deep breath and threw on a two small borders and called it a day.

I used Christy Dillions e2e Curly on it and used the navy as the binding. Then it was done ... Yeah!
