Blogger's Quilt Festival - Improv Stripes

Every Fall, Amy Ellis hosts the Blogger's Quilt Festival.  Lots of blogger's link up their favorite recent finishes - so it makes for a great place to find inspiration and new blogs to follow.


I always look forward to this event. 
It really is amazing to see all of the lovely finishes that get shared!






I thought I would share the #improvstripes quilt I made following Debbie's (A Quilter's Table) quilt along.  I wasn't sold on the quilt when I first started out, but now that it is finished, it is one of my favorite quilts.




I restricted myself to bright blues, red and a bit of bright yellow.  Love those primary colors!  I paired those with black, whites and a few bits of gray.





For the quilting, I used a black thread and quilted squares/lines all going in different directions.
Improv geometric quilting!

Improv Stripes QAL

Happy September!
That means summer is almost over and fall is just around the corner.  That makes me happy!




Here is my finish today.  It is my #improvstripes I made following Debbie's (A Quilter's Table) quilt along.  It measures just over 50 x 65".  I really like how it turned out!




I restricted myself to bright blues, red and a bit of bright yellow.  Love those primary colors.  I paired those with black, whites and a few bits of gray.




On the back, I used an older striped stash find with a black print added on to make it big enough.




For the quilting, I used a black thread and quilted squares/lines all going in different directions.

A big thanks to Debbie for hosting.  It was sure a lot of fun!
