It's a flimsy!
Flashes of Brilliance
The pattern, inspired by a vintage quilt, is by Pam Buda and was published in American Patchwork and Quilting October 2015.
Every once in awhile I like to really challenge myself. I really wasn't sure I could actually make these blocks let alone a whole quilt of them.
Ah, the thrill of meeting a challenge!
I can't believe I made this! I actually made this! AND I think I have a plan for the scraps.
Now into the hand quilting pile it goes!

My January OMG (One Monthly Goal) was to assemble at least one top from the large box of complete block sets. This is top #4. Quilt top #1 to be assembled was Dakota Farmer (Stars). Quilt top #2 was Blue Economy Blocks. Quilt top #3 was Clarissa.
You are so productive and this quilt is fabulous. You are an inspiration to us all.
ReplyDeleteThat is a stunning flimsy finish! What a challenge indeed...congratulations!!

ReplyDeleteWowzer! One to be proud of. :)
ReplyDeleteWell done, Cathy! Thankfully that flash of brilliance come to you in the form of this lovely quilt. Maybe it's time to switch to quilting all those tops you finished. Sandy at sewhigh.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I admire how much you accomplish.
ReplyDeleteYou are working at lightning speed this first month of the year, while we aren't sidelined by garden work. This top is a stunner!! You should be very proud of it.
ReplyDeleteThat really is fabulous, Cathy! I like the partial blocks at the top and bottom. Good for you for sticking with those complicated blocks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And will be even more brilliant when quilted! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt really is a lot of Flashes of Brilliance! I love it! You definitely should be very proud of yourself! Someone someday is going to be very proud of all your work on that quilt! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteIt's just simply gorgeous! And oh, so fun. You did a fabulous job choosing colors, stitching, and putting it all together. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou know, this is one of those very few circular blocks that has 6 points instead of 8, which always makes me think of snowflakes.
Oh, my! What a beautiful quilt!!! This quilt is on my list, and yours is so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteWell done! It is beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteYou pulled this one together fast. I wondered how you were going to set these blocks. I have a pattern by Jaybird Quilts that is this same block only one round smaller. I'm going to give it a try in this size when I get caught up with some other projects. This is spectacular.
