This is my latest quilt. It is a Fiesta kit that we bought from Keepsake quilting. It is made out of balis and was suppose to be the blocks only with a border, but I decided to make it a QAYG - thus the navy sashing between the blocks and to make it a bit bigger I put the borders on. It is suppose to be a wall hanging, but I prefer a lap quilt. It was my first attempt to paper piecing and was much fun in doing. I used the left over balis (I always buy too much) for the backing, so both sides look nice. Thanks for looking.

I looked for the pattern and couldn't find it. Was it by chance an older one? I love it !!

Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL! and it is what I call a 2fer (two for the price / work of one) :thumbup: It is very pretty both sides. How smart of you to quilt it as you go and enlarge it with boarders. I too would rather have a throw / lap quilt than a wall hanging. .... only because I have no wall space to hang them. :cry:

That is very cool! :D

"to make it a bit bigger I put the borders on"

How did you do that? I just finished one that I wanted to do that but couldn't figure out how to do the borders with the QAYG. Not shipped yet so maybe there is hope. Please share your secret.

Can I have it. My colors girl, I love it. Super job.

What a fantastic quilt. I have always wanted to do something that bright and interesting; but just cn't do it all.

OKLAHOMA PEACH 03-02-2011 07:14 AM

Great quilt, love the outstanding colors and the pattern, Good job!

charmpacksplus 03-02-2011 07:20 AM

I think I just drooled a little bit on your quilt. ;-)

timepasser 03-02-2011 07:22 AM

spectacular

LDB 03-02-2011 07:33 AM

Fantastic! Loved it so much I checked Keepsake's website for the kit / pattern. Sadly, it wasn't available (or if it was I couldn't find it). Your quilting makes the quilt even more beautiful than the basic blocks. And the fabric selection is spot on!

clem55 03-02-2011 07:53 AM

gorgeous!!
