Quilt for Emily
 

Just finished quilt for my college niece Emily. Didn't want anything traditional so I stayed clear of those patterns :-)
Will be seeing her soon and hope she likes her new quilt. I used black flannel for the backing for extra warmth.
This pattern was from a class taken at Quilt Guild last year.
Thanks for looking!

Neat! What is the name of the pattern? I did a wonky cut one and now I'm hooked!!

I love this quilt, its bright, fun & has a modern feel to it.
I bet your Niece will love it.

It love the modern look of this quilt--you really did a nice job. Thanks for sharing the picture.

What a fun pattern, and terrific fabrics! :)

Great choice of fabrics!

Lovely quilt, I would also like to know the name of the pattern.

love the design... good job

Holy Cow.....I absolutely love it and would like to do one like it....I love modern and things that a little different. Love your choice of fabrics.
I hope you will share the pattern

nice and bright

Looks very good. It is bright and has lots of nice colors.

thank you so much for your kind words.

If a name was given to the pattern I don't have it since it was from last year. It is really simple. Black/White charm packs and 2 1/2" strips of assorted colors (this was the challenge in finding all the different colors that worked well with each other). Take four 5" squares and sew into a 4 patch. Slash and add a 2 1/2" strips of color in two spaces after sewing in place turn it sideways and add two more slashes and add two strips of color. Sew the strips at an angle to create a tapered end. Trim square to the size block that works well with all your slash and sew blocks. I trimmed mine to 10 1/2". I remembered seeing a quilt with the appliqued tips on some of the strips and added them sporatically. A very easy pattern to do. I hope I didn't muddle up the directions too much :D


I made extra blocks and made a wheel chair donation quilt and looks like I have enough blocks to make another donation wheel chair quilt. Of course I made them a little different than the one for my niece :)

It looks great.

Love the pattern and colors, great mod quilt.

Your brights with the black and white work great together. She is going to love it.

Love this--lucky girl!!

nice quilt !!!!

I just looked through the books I have. One of them "Accent on Angles" has a pattern called "Dragon Bones" in it. Dragon Bones looks similar to this quilt.

HTH someone!
