Soul Blossoms Quilt Top

Last week, i managed to piece together all the blocks for Marta and Orlando's Quilt. The Amy Butler Soul Blossoms fabric really shines and i'm stoked with how it's turned out.

 Inspired by a quilt by Ann D. Hansen called 'x-tra ordinary'  on p.28 of her book 'make it Modern Quilts' (more info here), i think the use of Amy Butlers Soul Blossoms fabric in this quilt design really makes it sing.

Thanks to all those who have shared their advice regarding binding and quilting. I've really appreciated the diversity of suggestions which helped me a great deal when i made my final selections.

Linking up with:
- Lee for WiP Wednesday
- Amanda Jean for Finish it Up Friday
- Gemma for I Quilt Thursday at Pretty Bobbins and
- Lorna for Lets Bee Social

    Your quilt is beautiful! It's nice to finally see more of it...I can't wait to see it completed.:)
    Looking in my books, I found that Kaffe Fassett as a quilt pattern very similar to this one...It makes me want to make one...:)

    You are right. This is the perfect design for big, bold prints.
    I haven't a clue on quilting designs. I always struggle. I would end up just stippling all over everything because I cannot think of anything more creative.

    There is a really cool print in the mix there with white wavy lines ... it's give the quilt great movement. Love it :)

    This is a terrific combination of fabrics and colors Jen! I love how the two colors of sashing intersect the fabrics and either pop out or blend visually! Great job!
