Day Trip Quilt

 My friend

Niser Holland of Scrappy Quilt Designs

is designer and creator of

Day Trip

I've loved this quilt from the moment I saw it

and have finally had the time to make one

 Day Trip

48" X 66"

 The rows are created 

Horizontally

with a simple sew and fold technique.

 "Ash" Gray Kona for the background

and 

Kaffe Fassett scraps for the Geese

Love those Kaffes!

 And a matching Kaffe for the binding.

 I even placed a sleeve on the back.

 Labeled and done.

I fell in love with 

Day Trip

the first time I saw it!

Pattern design by

Niser Holland of

Scrappy Quilt Designs

 I finally had the time to make my own version.

Love, love, love this pattern!

I used Kona "Ash" (gray) for the background

and scraps of Kaffe Fassett fabrics for the Geese

 For my back I used a bright and happy Phillip Jacobs print

that matched the flowers currently blooming in my backyard.

"This quilt is truly a labor of love for me to create.

I am a passionate collector of floral fabrics.

I love the way many floral fabrics blend together

and the way they create lost and found edges

around shapes of blocks.

 I designed the layout in EQ using a gray scale

to show values.

Once I chose the large floral focus fabrics,

I pulled over 100 different fabrics from 

my stash for the quilt.

 I pieced each block one at a time, 

coordinating the fabrics for that specific block as I went.

 This was the first King sized quilt that I machine quilted.

The machine quilting took 80 hours to complete.
