Another quilt sourced only from stash, I used a layer cake of Kate Spain's Terrain collection and some trusty Kona White. After working through some mistakes in the instructions, I followed the Contraflow pattern in 25 Ways to Sew Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes & Charm Packs (mistakes in finished dimensions and background fabric cutting, if you're wondering).
I opted to group similar colours together to try and create more of a flow with the prints. Although the bright orange block on the second row seems a little out of place, I am pretty happy with how it came out.
Coming in at 78.5" x 86" (almost full/double), this beauty is on its way to Lindsay for the royal long-arm treatment. I couldn't bring myself to attempt basting this beast on my bathroom floor and the idea of shoving it through my machine filled me with dread. A wise decision me thinks, since I only have about 6 weeks to finish it and two more baby quilts.
Love how you have used the colour gradients! I still have a jelly roll of Terrain (somewhere), this reminded me how much I liked this fabric line, and I must do something with it soon.
ReplyDeleteLove it Amanda!! Kate Spain always comes up with the most beautiful fabrics.
ReplyDeleteLove the placement of the bright orange block in the second row. It adds interest to a beautiful quilt! Best, Kate
ReplyDeleteI think Terrain has to be my fav out of all of Kate Spain's ranges. This is really pretty.
