This was a fun quick quilt, I started playing with the strips of dark patches, then thought they would look good paired with light low volume strips... made all the blocks, then stitched in the words (all positive affirmations), sewed the blocks together, paired it with the backing...etc etc and a quilt! Listed it in my shop yesterday and it sold! Happy Dance.

Equilateral Triangles in Black, Gray, Wine
Finished this one up.
Black and Gray and Wine batiks with added gray solids.
It suits our weather this week - dark skies and a bit of snow. The red can be the fire inside.

One done, next one up.
The Christmas quilt is done.
I so liked making this design, I have at least 3 more quilts in mind that would be similar. I've seen it (or similar) called Chinese Lantern, Japanese Lantern, Modern Squash blossom, and Delectable Mountain quilt block. My first exposure was seeing a quilt by (the very talented) Jolene over at Blue elephant stitches and I was so inspired.
Next up on the frame this morning is a simple equilateral triangle quilt with gray and black with a touch of wine. A masculine quilt for a son who asked for gray and black... I begged to put an accent color in.

Christmas Quilt in process
Merry Christmas!
My quilting project for my time off work is a Christmas Quilt. The patchwork is the aztec / squash blossom design done in totally scrap holiday fabric. The back I purchased on a great sale. I am experimenting with making quilting guidelines out of freezer paper and ironing them on. Row by Row.
I hope your Holidays are full of JOY ! ! !
