Another simple quilt, still modern?

Once I got back from New York, I went on a quilt-making rampage.  As soon as I was done with the simple, modern quilt, I realized that I needed to turn in a quilt sample for my next improvisational quilt  class.  So, I made this green and white number with some blocks I've been playing with for awhile.  I just couldn't help myself and backed it with yellow gingham checks made from thrift store curtains.  I didn't even care that the gingham was part polyester.  Madness!

I love how bright and sunny this quilt is!

Sorry I didn't take any pictures of the back.  I whipped on the binding, threw it up on the design wall to take a couple of pictures and rushed it to the shop, as my "homework" was a day late!

If you'll be in the Bay Area in June and are interested in taking the class for this incredibly versatile pattern sign up here!

  2. I studied creative writing but gave it up to learn German and French so my skills of articulation are limited but can be twice translated ;-) This is all leading up to the fact that what I'm about to say should be taken as "this is wonderful - o my gosh I love this!" and that is... it reminds me of grass and springtime. Like a meadow or a big flat field in Indiana that just goes on for miles and waves in the wind. I love it :)

  3. Each of those blocks has a great division of space, and I love the fresh look of this. Something about those greens against the white... yum!
