Quilt Finish: Ombre Chain Quilt

Last year I was watching "The Let Down" on Netflix (which I really enjoyed) and a work of art above their bed kept catching my eye. After some research, I learned the image was available as wallpaper and fabric from this Australia website, but I never was able to determine the original artist.  Rather than buying the wallpaper or fabric, I decided to make my own quilt inspired by the design.

I used 2 1/2" squares picked from my scrap square boxes and cut from stash. I laid the whole quilt out on my design wall and then web-pieced it all at once.

I backed the quilt in minky and had it quilted with a traditional baptist fan pattern. There isn't a pattern for this quilt, it is similar to this quilt and this quilt that I made. This version is a little different since the squares forming the lattice-like pattern aren't all dark. I loved how the original watercolor has those main squares go from dark to medium to almost indiscernible, but you can still pick out the main pattern.
This pattern has 30 squares across, and 35 squares down. That means it contains 1,050 squares that finish at 2", and the quilt finishes at  60" x  74".

My sister has a closed blog and lives for comments from the few of us who have access. When I saw how few comments you have I was so sad and figured I better give you one if you are like my sister. The lack of comments means nothing other than that readers are lazy. You do such beautiful work! I keep coming back to your site and have read it for a long time. You have a way with light medium and dark value that show your experience and eye as a quilter. Scrappy variation in fabric is something I also strive for and appreciate in your quilts. It feels good to use all those pieces even though it takes longer to process them but is so worth the work! Looking forward to your next gorgeous, scrappy, unique quilt!
