I had to have it.
I had to make a quilt out of it.
For me.
So, I bought FQs and a few half yards and then I pondered what to make. And pondered, and pondered. I wanted to show off the fabric and everything I thought of was not appealing to me. I just couldn't bring myself to cut the fabric. A year of pondering later, I finally decided I didn't need to cut it. That patchwork would be perfect! Someone will need to explain to me why this light bulb took so long to turn on one day.
I cut 10" squares, placed them and
sewed.
Keeping to the concept of showcasing the fabrics, I quilted diagonal lines in each square. They are about 1.5" apart.
I first took it out at my neighbor's place where one of the horses promptly rubbed his head all over it. I am a sucker, I just let him (of course, it was the back of the quilt so I wasn't too concerned about it getting dirty before the photos).
After I washed it and it got all crinkly, I hung it again on the frame for our fire pit.
I just love this quilt and it's mine, all mine!
Cheers!

It's gorgeous Beck. You totally made the right choice keeping those blocks large to showcase that beautiful fabric. Im thinking about you snuggling under this in the depths of winter with a smile on your face.
Sometimes just keeping it simple is the best. Looks snuggly and great.
