Do you know how hard it is to get good shots of full-size quilts? Trust me - it's hard. This full-size quilt - 94" by 108" - is for my niece Molly who lives in Orlando. The last quilt I made for her was in corals and greens. While she liked the quilt, I was very unhappy working on it (yes, I know it's not about me, but...). So the challenge for this quilt was to find fabrics Molly liked that I would be happy working with. And we finally found this group of batiks. Molly leads a hectic life - she works full-time and performs with choirs and community theatre. So her quilt had to be calming. This big-block design is perfect for her.
Sarah E of @sparklesaxdesigns, one of my Chicago MQG quilties, did a large stiple that was just perfect for this quilt. Because Molly is in Florida, I batted with with a light Mountain Mist poly batting.

This design left me cold and I realized I needed to spread the blocks out. |
