Ta Da - Here is the second Covered in Love quilt finish. I decided to lay these blocks out in an asymmetrical design. It is very different looking than the first quilt I made using these blocks (which you can see here.)
I tried to get a good photograph of the quilting but the weather wasn't cooperating. When I can, I use the piecing to guide my quilting spacing so I don't have to do any marking. This pattern I call a traveling swirl. I used the intersections of the squares to space out the swirls - alternating the placement with each row.
I used a blue print with a water feel to it for the backing. I added in a orange inset with a stylized sun design and framed the quilt with a blue batik binding.
I do have the top for quilt number three pieced and am working on the fourth top between other projects. Maybe I will have another finish to share next week!
If you are not familiar with the block drives for Covered in Love, you can read more about it here. And if you donated blocks on this drive, I hope you see your blocks in there.
Have a great weekend!
I am looking forward to a sew day planned with friends.

I love the layout! always amazing what we can do with scraps
I really love the asymmetric design and look forward to seeing all the other ways you combine the blocks into finished quilts.
I think the layout is awesome! 😍
Another wonderful quilt. Congrats! ;^)
oohhh... I like this layout very much.
Well done on another finish too...xox
That's another great layout! I really like how versatile that quilt block is!
Ohhh I really like that layout!! it is so graphic!!
I love how versatile these blocks are! They can do anything HSTs can do, but with a bit more flair. Super finish, Cynthia! :)
This looks so good. HST are one of my favourite shapes, so many options.
It's amazing how two such different quilts can be made from the same blocks! Love the new arrangement.
I LOVE the asymmetrical design and such a versatile block. Great job!
The two layouts look so different from one another. Always fun to have a pieced back.
A pretty finish! Love this layout.
Two completely different quilt layouts! Both are wonderful. I design that uses the same blocks but offers many different layouts just by block placement!
Two great layouts. They are both a really nice way of using light and dark HSTs. I've been cutting a lot of scraps into squares lately in an attempt to organize my scraps a bit and will need to bookmark these as possibilities.
One of my favorite split nine patch layouts. Such a fast block to kit up and use as leaders and enders. Such a stylish quilt. Way to go, Cynthia!
It's funny how closely aligned we are on our ideas for layouts! It looks awesome, as always :) love that swirly quilting.
Great quilts for a great cause! This is the 2nd year that I have been sending blocks to Covered in Love. Love seeing the quilts come together!
Great layout and how different from the first. Thanks for pitching in and helping Kat out.
