This quilt is from a QDAD design. The first one that I've actually finished. In EQ7 the block is a criss-cross variation. I colored it and then mirrored and rotated it in some places.
This was the original coloring:
You might (or might not) notice that there is a slight change though. I made the blocks so that they were very easy to make, but it means that I cut of some of the points on the rectangles by the HSTs. I thought about it for a second and then decided it would be a design feature.
For quilting I did Mesh Curtain from Leah Day. I really like the texture that it creates, although I formed it a little differently then she did in the video. It was easier to keep track of where I was if I didn't do any overlapping until the first layer was down in a section. And while this is a very easy and forgiving quilting pattern, it also takes a lot of thread. I probably used at least twice as many bobbins as I normally do.
The kona colors are tomato, citrus, kiwi, and water. It is backed in a grey minkie. I love pieced backs, but I love the softness of minkie even more.
Linking up with Finish it up Friday and Whoop-whoop Friday.
