This is one of my favorite quilts I’ve ever made. I made these blocks from my scrap bag, choosing red, orange, yellow, green & aqua. I included sections of white because I had originally planned to sash them in the same white – thus eliminating some of the block edges. For some reason I picked linen instead, which I do really like. I still have more of these blocks, so I think I will try the white sashing next time.
For the back, I used this large-scale bird print (which I love SO MUCH), with a strip of FMF green. It’s quilted in a hybrid meander-ripple pattern (I was in a weird mood that day). It is about 36″x45″.

This is great! One of my favourite sashed pieces that I’ve seen in a while. (Generally, I’m not a fan of sashing.)

Linen sashing has got to be one of my favorite things. I love what it does to a variety of colors.
What is the name of that FABULOUS bird print you backed it with?
