I also love the bright pops of color!
Because the colors and patterns had so much going on I chose to do simple straight line quilting outlining all of the vertical rows and every other horizontal row. It made a pretty cool chevron design on the back. The backing is solid cream, appropriate for a wall hanging.
When I started the quilt I was really worried about matching the seams but they came together very easily. The trickiest part was the fabric placement. I moved them in and out, up and down, and all around! I'm really proud of how it turned out!

ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up at MOP Monday!! :)
This quilt is so fun and colorful! I really like the herringbone pattern, that is definitely going on my to make list.
ReplyDeleteLove thse fabrics and colors. It makes a lovely quilt. Graet job!!
ReplyDeleteIt's just beautiful! Lovely piecing and don't you just love Kate Spain?
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I am working on a herringbone right now and yours definitely inspires me! Visiting from Quilt Story.
ReplyDeleteSo nice! I've been wanting to make a herringbone quilt and I love your version :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, and you're right they are fabulous fabrics!
ReplyDeleteLooks good, your back to back hemming. and the binding matches it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteHow hard and frustrating ....or simple and easy...was it to do the top stitching as you did it? I always have trouble doing the FMQ with so many seams...and making it look right. Your's looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is lovely! Did you use a pattern?
ReplyDeleteI have a fat quarter bundle and 7-ish yards in my stash just waiting for the perfect project and the time! I'm hoarding mine tight!
Totally love the scrappiness! It looks 2 dimensional.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy quilt and lovely color palette. I'm crazy about teal right now, too (have we had that conversation before?!) and agree it makes the perfect binding here. I'm glad you went with simple straight-line quilting that highlights the geometry of the piecing. Hmmm ... maybe I need a herringbone quilt on my to-do list, too ...
ReplyDeleteLove those fabrics. And you made a beautiful quilt with them
ReplyDeleteLove it and that teal binding is perfect with the scrappiness of the quilt:)
ReplyDeleteWow! This turned out great. I always hesitate to sew with odd angles, but love to see what other people do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for rejuvinating at Tuesday ARchives. It's the perfect the addition to our Jelly Roll links at Tuesday ARchives this week. (I love your clean...straightline quilting)
