Mosaic {a finished quilt!}

Completed Project 2018

Dec 9

The weather around here has turned frigid, so it's officially winter...YUCK! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the snow on Christmas, but I'd be happy if we never had it on any other day. And these below freezing temps make me miserable. Thankfully I have plenty of quilts to snuggle in and stay warm :) My friend Jemima Flendt (from Tied with a Ribbon) lives in Australia and I'm pretty sure it's summer there right now. Maybe I should go and visit her for a bit! I did receive a copy of her just released book, Quilt Big, and today I'm here to show you the first project I've made from it. This pattern is named Mosaic and the fabric I used from my stash makes me think of the beach and warmer temperatures.

I love this quilt for a number of different reasons (1) it has two of my very favorite colors - coral and aqua; (2) I used only fabrics from my stash - YAY! and (3) the blocks are big, so it went together quickly!

I also kind of love the way it looks when you see it on point like below...might have to try that some time.

And more photos because I couldn't stop taking them :)

The photo below shows a better view of the backing fabric before I added the binding. It also is probably the most accurate in capturing the true colors of the fabric. It's so hard to get good photos when every day is gray!!!
