This finish was inspired by a need to clean out one of my scrap baskets. I decided to use the free pattern, The Courtyard Quilt by Cloud 9 Fabrics. I made all the blocks before I laid out the quilt and then I realized it was going to be too busy so I substituted red for every other block.
That means there is another quilt coming using the leftover blocks. When I pulled pieces from my scraps, I was looking for prints suitable for boys (I don't think I make enough boy quilts). Looking at the quilt, I think it's appropriate for a boy or a girl but I named the quilt Boy Quilt With Red early on so I'll stick with that.
After adding a border, this donation quilt finished at 52" by 57". The back is Radiance 108 by Color Principle for Henry Glass & Co. The back is hard to photograph
unless I do a closeup!
I free-motion quilted this with a meandering stitch using Glide 40-wt #70001 Cardinal thread.
In the meantime, my secondary design wall has gained a few more tiny houses...
Congrats on another lovely quilt from the scrap basket, Jeanne!!
