I initially saw pictures of this quilt online and fell in love with the design. I just had to figure out how to make it.

It's gorgeous, but it would be my nightmare to have to make it.

​Lovely quilt!

Lovely colors and quilting compliments. I have seen this design in antique fabrics but this modern take is so pretty

What a beauty...I can see why you fell in love with the design. It is a spectacular quilt and I’m sure it was a challenge arranging the colors and keeping them in order. Wonderful finish Dunster.

That is really neat! If I didn't have so blasted many things started, I'd be tempted....but...oh well....

Homespun 10-07-2019 05:07 AM

It is beautiful!

anonymous 10-07-2019 05:10 AM

That quilt is exquisite! I love the design, but for me the colors make it. Did you shop for the fabric, or shop from your stash? Either way, you have a great eye for color. It looks so pretty on the bed.

What a beautiful quilt.

Mousie 10-07-2019 05:48 AM

wow, would I love to make this! Every block pops and it just glows :).
So did you graph it out?
I have a "bundle" of fabrics to make a ? granny square? quilt.
Geesh, I can't think of the correct name but it's similar.
What size of your blocks? I'd like to do one around 96" square.
I love your fabrics.

juliasb 10-07-2019 06:12 AM

WOW! Stunning. How many different colors did it take to produce such beauty.

Absolutely love it.
 
I absolutely love it. I'm a huge fan of various borders, the symmetry, the colors. I would love to find the pattern. Fantastic job.

betthequilter 10-10-2019 03:54 PM

Beautiful quilt. I love the way the border falls over the foot of the bed.

dunster 10-10-2019 04:11 PM

Thank you everyone. To answer some of the questions -

This was made from fabrics in my stash. The strips are 2", finishing at 1.5". The quilt requires 9 sets of 8 fabrics each, and only two 2"xWOF strips of each fabric are needed. It's fun putting it together. 8 fabric strips are sewn together, then sliced into strips, then laid out and some unsewing is done. The quilt is 98" square.

quiltlady1941 10-10-2019 04:48 PM

Oh Wow..this is a beautiful quilt ..I love the colors

Iraxy 10-10-2019 07:20 PM

It looks like you figured it out! Beautiful quilt with lots of work and hours in it, and it shows!
