I loved making this quilt, as it was a skill builder for me as a quilter. I learned how to do y-seams confidently with this one. I've already put that technique to use in another quilt I'm working on here with a mitered corner border.
At first I cringed at the amount of leftover fabric from the fussy cutting required for this kaleidoscope effect. But the result was worth it. Now I can't stop looking for fabrics to do this with again. In the end, I've used a lot of the extra fabric for smaller versions of this block. These finish at 40 inches square.
The fabulous rose floral quilting is by Alison Black at AB Quilting Studio. Here's the backing fabric, from the Meadow Storm collection, also by Victoria Findlay Wolfe.
This is a finish for Quarter 2 of the 2017 Finish-A-Long.
