OK … I was really really busy when all the instructions came out for this quilt-a-long! I LOVE doing Sandra’s quilt-a-longs (from MMM Quilts) and I just didn’t have time to pull fabric. THIS LINK has all the information and links to each weekly sew-a-long.
Well, fast forward a few weeks and when I started to pull fabrics, I ended up pulling fabrics for not one, but TWO quilts.
| #1 | #2 | ||
| Background | black | Background | Swirl Teal Jade- Copper Patina |
| Fabric A | Scuba – Tantalizing Teals | Fabric A | Unknown IB fabric (older collection) |
| Fabric B | Slate – Bodacious Blacks | Fabric B | Teal – Floral Wonders |
| Fabric C | Marble Aqua – Blender | Fabric C | Mini Sprigs – Pink – Wild Blooms |
| Fabric D | Unknown IB fabric (older collection) | Fabric D | Swirl – Multi Purple Green – Copper Patina |
| Fabric E | Rain | Fabric E | Ornate Scroll – Neutral – Copper Patina |
Progress was slow … but progress happened.
Here are the progress pictures of #1
Here are the progress pictures of #2
Each one finished and the different quilting on each one!
Both together:

Both finishes are gorgeous, but I’m a big fan of blue, so that one is my favorite. Congrats on finishing both.

Thank you!!! It was fun to make 2. Mostly because I couldn’t decide on which one to make! 🙂

I love this…you were busy when it came out so you make two! That really cracks me up…and I do love both versions! It is fun to see it hung in a different orientation, too. For a minute, you had me fooled and I thought you added another set of points.

LOL!!! I have considered adding the big points all around, but then it wouldn’t be Sandra’s pattern! I really like it off-set!
