Finish: Sewtopia Michael Miller Challenge Quilt

4/21/2015

As I've mentioned a few times already, I attended Sewtopia in Chicago this April (2015). As part of the retreat, they sent us a collection of Michael Miller Fabrics. The idea was to make something (anything!) out of the fabrics and enter them in a friendly competition or "challenge."  This was a new one for me! You had to use some of the fabrics that they sent us, but you could add any other Michael Miller Fabrics.
Picture
The colors of the fabrics that were sent out were bright and a little bit outside of what I normally work with. However, I found a very cool coordinating fabric to use for the backing and used that as inspiration for the front. (Is that backwards?)

Picture
I used all of the fabrics that were sent, and added: White! (Michael Cotton Couture in Bright White to be exact), and went with a very traditional "broken dishes" layout of half-square triangles. The HST blocks finish at 5 inches, and the entire quilt is 40x40 inches.

I echo quilted on both sides of every seam and love how it created little perfect stars where the blocks meet.
