Issue 27 of Quilt Now magazine dropped through my door yesterday, so that means that I can finally share the finished BOM quilt with you!
This quilt was a bit of a departure from the norm for me as I usually avoid sashing like the plague. This time around I felt that it was necessary to sash to bring all the colours of the different blocks together. There was plenty of negative space too so when I sent this away to Trudi for quilting I just knew that it would come back utterly transformed. I thought you might like to see the treatment that Trudi gave to each block so prepare for photo overload.
Quarter log cabin block
Chevron block
Flower patch block
Dresden doughnut block
Friendship star block
Ribbon dance block
Bullseye block
Flower weave block
Economy cross block
Flying away block
Star central block
Flying geese block
Negative space panels
Trudi introduced so much texture with her beautiful quilting, it really makes the Kona solids sing. As per usual the quilt was pieced and quilted with Aurifil. I used the Emily Cier Kona solids bundle from Robert Kaufman to make this version of the quilt and I have the added bonus of having a full fat quarter stack bundle left over so I thought it would be nice to celebrate the end of this BOM with a giveaway!

I love that quilt! I think I’d make a really simple quilt for myself, maybe nine patches on point?

Awesome quilt! I love solids and have been thinking of a quilt that is all solid diamonds or pyramid triangles.

I have a hand pieced Camelot quilt that I started a few years ago. I’d love to finish it off using some of this bundle.

They are so effective in your quilt I will probably attempt an EPP quilt or as I am about to learn how to do Foundation piecing correctly the plain colours would be put to good use.
