Then finally, avoiding another project, I dug into making the filler blocks. Using Kona Titanium, Pewter, Iron, Silver, Shadow, I followed the original Summer Sampler plan for Hourglass blocks.
So now the top is done - all 72" x 72" of it. And what comes next is anyone's guess....
Those neutral hour glass blocks are perfect, visually interesting but not distracting from the others. You have such a flair for that balance.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful and striking top! I really love how the grey filler blocks allow the pieced blocks to really pop.
ReplyDeleteWhat a productive form of procraftination! I think the grays frame your blocks beautifully. :)
ReplyDeleteDebbie this quilt top is so pretty . . . The design would go with a modern look, but I can also see it in a cabin, lake or native American styled home. You do such lovely work :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!

A perfect job of putting your blocks together and letting your summer road trip shine. I'm excited to see how you quilt it - it's almost complete. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks terrific. My top is together and I've made the call to the longarmer. I extended my borders to make a 96x96 size as a friend of mine wanted it and wanted it larger. You make me feel better about not having it out the door already. lol
ReplyDeleteso good!
ReplyDeleteI love how the top turned out! Congrats. I guess you will take your time to descide on the quilting but I already know it will be gorgeous. Looking forward to it. xo
ReplyDeleteYour filler blocks bring lots of excitement to the party, secondary patterns, stars, half stars etc.
ReplyDeleteSuper.
love the way this went together! A big win!
