Shadow Block quilt started.

So glad I tried the shadow block - I am making this for my nephew's wife. They love Ikea and Modern. Hoping she will like it. I just started making it yesterday. It's really easy. I always thought it would be too hard to make. This looks small on the picture, but its not. Its going to make a really nice lap quilt.

Very very nice. Love your fabric selection !! This pattern needs to go on my sooner rather than later list.

Jeanne S 05-04-2014 10:49 AM

I have been wanting to make one of these too! Are you using a pattern or doing your own ?

Auntie V 05-04-2014 10:52 AM

Love the quilt pattern and colors. I have been wanting to do something with black and yellow but can't get away from thinking that it needs to be "bee" related. This is giving me ideas.

Not sure if this is the exact pattern Carolaug used, but it appears to be close. It's on my summer bucket list.

Oh that's going to be a great quilt! I've been wanting to do one like yours too :)

Yes! It is very attractive. She should love it. I also found it quick and easy to do--much faster than I thought. And the end is very impressive!!!

Very pretty fabric with nice 3-D effect.

beaqltr 05-05-2014 08:56 AM

I like optical illusion quilts. Good work.

Tweety2911 05-05-2014 12:29 PM

Love it! The prints really work well with this pattern and the colors are so very modern!!

carolaug 05-05-2014 02:17 PM

I used this pattern for the basics but made a few changes. I used 6 1/2 in squares, 2 inch strips and 2 inch squares than 2 1/2 inch for the sashing. I made the shadow to the bottom right.

katkat1946 05-05-2014 04:54 PM

Very nice! Those fabrics really give it that modern feel - they will love it. It's so neat to see how the fabric selection impacts the look of a quilt.

joyce888 05-05-2014 06:38 PM

Very nice and love the colors

judy363905 05-05-2014 07:56 PM
