Breezy
Breezy 60 x 74 inches Quilt of Valor #230 |
Breezy was made using scraps from the backings (the focus fabric and the blue fabrics) of previous QOV. The Town Square pattern from Fabric Cafe requires a total of three yards and is ideal for large focus fabrics. My version requires more than three yards of fabric as I needed to alter the borders to meet QOV size requirements. The two smaller frames were cut at 2.5 inches, and the outer border at 5 inches.
The pattern came together quickly and was perfect for using the red, white, and blue fabric. The fabric is so busy that it is nearly impossible to see that several of the big blocks are pieced.
I'm trying to use the smaller cuts of fabric that I have in my stash, and you'll see in upcoming posts that the Town Square pattern is helping me do that.

Perfect name for that quilt! The fabric really is busy and looks like it is being blown! Nice job Nancy.

ReplyDeleteThat is such a great quilt Nancy. As Vera said, it really does look as if it's blowing in the breese.

Oh - I love the simplicity of this one. Plus it has a little modern vibe. Awesome as always!!
ReplyDeleteWow....so much energy in those fabrics. It really is like a flag blowing in the wind.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun pattern - I'll have to add that one to the file!
ReplyDeleteVery nice layout!!!! Nice to see you piecing away on these quilts!
ReplyDeleteI really like the 3 yard patterns — but I find I seldom have 1 yard pieces that match other 3 yd pieces. Great job of using the leftover fabs.
