This is hands down my favorite quilt yet. FAVORITE. I love this fabric. I knew I wanted to make a modern looking quilt with this Joel Dewberry line, but I couldn’t make up my mind on the design until I started cutting the fat quarters into strips and going for it....which is scary. I used 8 fat quarters total, not counting the white fabric. I used EVERY last piece of the fabric down to the last tiny strip!
I had the picture of this in my head, and I was nervous once I started cutting up all my fabric that it would be a total wreck….lucky for me it turned out or I would have been one grumpy momma! The finished blocks are all 9 inches square, and I think that its 60 in. by 77 in.
P.S. I just want to say Thank You for all your sweet comments and encouragement. I wish I could reply and chat with you ALL....but that would require neglecting my children and well...I like my kids (for now). :)

WOW Allison! That is gorgeous! I love new fabric and am often in the same boat as you. Afraid of cutting it because it's soooo pretty and you just aren't quite sure what pattern you want to do. But kuddos to you for going for it! I love how modern it is. The white really sets it off. Can't wait to see how you quilt it. Hope the boys are doing well. Take care! Jenn

I would like to know how you organize your time to find the time to work on new prjects. I have five children ages 11-8 months and I marvel that you can get so much done! Please share your tips on how you break a project down, how you find the time to work in sewing (is it scheduled or spontaneous) etc....that is if you ever have the time left to share!

This is gorgeous... but all your quilts are gorgeous! I don't know how you can pick a favourite - all of them are my favourite! I do LOVE the colours in this one though, it would look great in my living room - I will go and have a look for some similar fabrics! x
Nell
Lovely! I like how you have got the trees and flowers centralised in the blocks. I think this range is one of my favourites too. I have some newly stashed!
I have just re-started my own blog (after lots of recent blog-stalking!), would love it if you wanted to come over for a peek :)

WOW!!

I really like that. I had a similar idea for a load of Amy Butler FQs I want to use but haven't been able to bring myself to cut into them yet. I like the way some of the coloured centres are off centre, if that makes sense, in other words not all the blocks are regular and the same. It makes the whole design more interesting.

It looks fabulous! I have a FQ pack of Modern Meadow that I'm hanging on to for my month in a bee, but it's not until February! You're quilt turned out great though. Can't wait to see it finished. :)

what a great use of pretty fabric! i love the blues and greens. i think i probably would have walked right past the fabric and thought hmm... nice colors and nothing more. so i'm really impressed that you've come up with a great design to showcase it.
