Trail Mix
It's a flimsy!
If I remember correctly it's 72 x 80.
I decided that this month I would work on a couple of UFOs with CHAINs in them. This is my second UFO with CHAINS I've brought to flimsy stage this month.
I started this in September 2014. Then I worked on it again in 2016. I actually have the book with the pattern but since then it has been released as a free online pattern if you are interested. I'm not adding the borders which would make it 84 x 102. I don't want a quilt that big.
I used Autumn themed fabrics and colors in the various blocks and used different yellows and a few oranges to form the chain or what I see as a trail through the woods. Makes me feel like I should go take a hike!
That's the only chain themed work I did this week. I think I'll have to carry my theme into May in order to get those old UFOs like Jack's Chain to flimsy stage but it's rather difficult to concentrate on those more complex quilts in between gardening tasks this time of year. But I have no deadlines except for those self-imposed ones so I'm free to go with the flow.
seriously tempted here....it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous and luscious colors in this--thanks for the linky hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I've got the pattern stashed away, but no plans (yet) to make one, so I'm really enjoying seeing yours! (And trying to resist starting yet another of your inspirations!)
ReplyDeleteYes, I can see why you think those yellow squares look like Trails through the Forest. It’s a beautiful flimsy, great colours, really striking.
ReplyDeleteI have several friends who have made Trail Mix and they are all so lovely. Still on my bucket list, though.
ReplyDeleteYour version of Trail Mix is gorgeous!! I really love those colors you used! I would make one for myself but I have too many other projects started already...something you would never understand!
ReplyDeleteI just checked out the online pattern photo and yours is so much better!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you used contrast and lights and darks, it makes your quilt look
ReplyDeletethree dimensional.
Congratulations on a beauty!
This is right there in the upper echelon of my favorite quilts (flimsies) you’ve made. And that’s saying something, because you’ve made so many crazy-wonderful ones! it’s just glorious!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love your version! I may have to put this one on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your Trail Mix. It's such a fun pattern. I made my first in 2013 and have another UFO started in 2014. May have to dig it out!
ReplyDeleteLike Grace said, seriously tempted...
ReplyDeleteI've downloaded the free pattern - your version is glorious!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's a funny coincidence--this week in the AQS Quilt Art Engagement Calendar features this same pattern. Your quilt is gorgeous; I love your colors!
