Block & Strip Quilt in Neutrals
 
2 Attachment(s)
I made this for my sister who is about to finish up her doctorate in nursing administration. I even got a label on this one to mark the event! Her favorite colors are off-white, beige, and sand. So neutrals all the way. I got the pattern from Rob at Man Sewing:

I like his color combo better, but it wasn't a quilt for me. I bought a layer cake of off-white by Moda and a jelly roll of small primatives also by Moda. I still have half of each left. It measures 60 X 60 and I backed it with an extra wide piece from the LQS. I had it long armed in a "flow" design using off-white thread. I thought the pattern would be more striking on the back, but it actally really highlights the front and gives it a modern feel. I think she's going to love it!

Thanks for looking!

Well done. Not my color choices either, but it makes good sense for your sister.

Your quilt is very elegant because of the colors you used and the quilting. Though I usually use bright colors I find this color combination very 'comfortable'. I know your sister will enjoy it as a symbol of her achievement.

I have a thing for neutral quilts. This one is so pretty and the quilting is perfect!

I just love the simplicity of your quilt:) Did you freehand or use a panto? If a panto, which one?
