Summer Bliss
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is the first queen size quilt I have ever pieced. I usually don't go larger than a twin size but I fell in love with this pattern. It is called Summer Bliss and was the cover picture on the August 2012 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. It took me several months to accumulate all the different fabrics. I bought a half a yard of this and a yard of that in lots and lots of different places and I dipped into my stash for some pieces that I already had. I was so afraid that it wasn't going to look right since the quilt in the magazine used a fabric collection. I think it turned out nice and I can't wait to get it quilted. I'm going to load it onto my quilt frame tomorrow for machine quilting. The quilt is made up of only two blocks and they are very very large blocks so it does work up fast. Thanks for looking!

You did a good job. It is good when quilters trust their instincts on fabric choices.

I love how the yellow strip on top of the blue square created a green triangle. That's really thinking it thru.

Thank you for the inspiration. I needed a fast block that looks good for a king size quilt made from Aunt Grace fabrics for someone at work. This may be the one !

You did a great job on fabric choice and piecing. You deserve to be proud of it! I can't wait to see it quilted.

I love the shadowing effect as part of the design, which I also love. Congratulation on your big BIG quilt! Obviously you had no issues and did a terrific job!!!!!! Thank you for the pattern information and how you gathered your fabric, shows how determined you were to make this quilt!
