This is our new fountain. It's not turned on yet. It's sitting on the block patio, and in the background is what will be grass and flowers. A work in progress.
This is the quilt top that I finished last night. It was a class that I took in October, called Crossed Kayaks. I worked on it all week, and finished the border last night. I need a good name for it. Toast approves!
You can see the secondary, circular pattern formed by the lights and darks.
I really like the way it went together.
This is what a single block looks like.
I wanted a border that would soften the darker colors and the lines. I fell in love with this fabric. I'd call this quilt an intermediate level quilt. I've been quilting almost 6 years, and I was real careful with the 1/4 inch seams, and I still lost a lot of my points.So this quilt went from being a UFO (unfinished object) or a WIP (work in progress) to being a flimsy, which is a quilt top that the piecing is done, but it's not yet sandwiched and quilted.
I have to go back to the cutting chart and figure out how many yards of fabric I used!

Oh wow Holly! I la,la,LOVE your quilt you just finished up!!! Beautiful and it has me already thinking this block would make a great swap block.... for the future... so I'm savign that idea ;)
Do you think it could be adapted to be paper pieced? So that the points all line up? Do you think that would help at all... just thinking out loud here ;) Your quilt looks great - love the colors and the circles that appear!
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
