It's a Finish! Fractured Rainbows aka Totally Demented aka Garden Mosaic




 It's a finish!!! 

Fractured Rainbows
96 x 96
hand quilted

 This quilt has gone by many names. 

 In her email Gayle said we would have to be Totally Demented to make it. 
It called for 2048-  1.5 inch finished HSTs. 
 I didn't have a 2 inch scrap bin at the time so I dug into my milk crate of scrap chunks and cut 2 inch strips. I used an Easy Angle ruler to cut the HSTs.  I used muslin and scraps in colors of the rainbow  so I started calling my quilt Fractured Rainbows. 
I used muslin on the back and then I hand quilted it. I also used muslin for the binding. 

And now it is in the rotation of quilts I use on my bed.

I love it! I have lots of 1.5" bonus HST that I've been working on. I just make them and then a pattern shows up. I might have to try this one.

It's totally fabulous... I adore it!

MissPat said...

I'm glad you are keeping this one and using it. While I thought it was cool, I wasn't even tempted to start as I just didn't need a quilt that big and it isn't a pattern that could be made smaller. You're doing well at getting those UFOs done.

Your quilt turned out amazing. And the hand quilting really worked out well. I notice that I turned my head for a second or two, and you have been on an incredible tear. I think I feel the earth tilting a bit because of all of the quilts you are finishing.

This quilt is gorgeous, Cathy! It's been on my bucket list for a while now. I'll have to move it up a little further even though I have a ton of other projects going on. Looks like a great leader/ender idea.
