So I got myself into the latest Riley Blake fabric challenge for the Modern Quilt Guild. May I just say right up front that I found the Sashing Stash fabric less than inspiring. After studying it for a while, I just started fussy cutting the graphics into blocks and waited for inspiration to hit.
I decided to add red and white solids to my quilt. Maybe I'm just having a grumpy day but I do not find the Riley Blake solids all that great to work with. They just don't press up crisply like I prefer. Ok. I'm done whining now! I promise.Here's my finished quilt...
I titled it "At the Diner" because my pal Joellen said it reminded her of an old time diner. I see that!
Finished quilt is 40 X 40 inches and I crosshatch quilted it on my Janome with white and red threads.
You really must check out the #mqgfabricchallenge on Instagram! Many beautiful pieces by quilters who were far more inspired than I was! Oh well, it's done!
Also, this is my first second quarter finish in the Finish along! so that's something, right?
