Finish: Turquoise Basket-weave Quilt

This weekend I finished a quilt that has been a long-time in the works. Back in January of 2013 I started a slew of turquoise quilt tops. I've already finished a Chevron quilt, a Half-Square Triangle quilt, and most recently, a Turquoise Strip quilt.  Now that this basket-weave quilt is finished, I think I'm done with turquoise for a while - at least for quilts.

For this quilt I paired turquoise and gray low-volume prints with more saturated coordinating prints. The pattern is very traditional, but I feel that the fabrics give it a contemporary feel.

For the back of the quilt I again used the turquoise polka dot print and added in a strip of fun turquoise-on-white fabric to bring it up to size.  I quilted this quilt "in-the-ditch" between each block, and then added diagonal quilting through each block. It wanted it to crinkle nicely once it was washed.

I machine-bound this quilt with the turquoise color-way of Patty Young's Running Stitch fabric.

It was a snowy day when I went to take pictures. I love how the above photo looks like a black/white photo other than the turquoise quilt.

This is my second finish on my 2014 Q4 Finish-a-Long To DO list,
and has sold.

Thanks for stopping by!
