QOV Quilt

Hi All! I just finished the blocks for Kevin the Quilter's QOV block drive :) Link is here - these blocks go together FAST.  OK, I went a little overboard, and just made a quilt top.  This was fast, easy and I have to say the quilt angels totally watched over me because I had no issues with cutting, no issues with getting to the end of the fabric and having major differences in length AND when I sewed the blocks together there is maybe one seam that isn't as close to perfect that one can come! Here it is:


I don't know if Kevin planned it this way but check this out - from a yard of material you can get 9 11x12.5 inch rectangles and 6 12x2.5 inch strips.  Another 3/4 yard of the fourth color will give you the three blocks and the remaining 12 strips needed.  Or it can be mixed up more.  I had a hard time finding a gold that I wanted to use - most of what I found was too yellow (for me) or too baby poopy looking (IMHO).  Bad visual, sorry.

 Off to quilt the Triangle Log Cabin! I am totally going to be ready to start the triangle quilt along on Friday - I am on a roll! :)

 Linking up with Connie over at Freemotion by the River for Linky Tuesday, Quilt Story for Fabric Tuesday, Lorna over at So Fresh Quilts for Let's Be Social, Lee over at Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesdays and Kelly over at My Quilt Infatuation for NTT.

 Until next time (with a picture of the triangle quilt finish!!!!! Woohoo), keep on quilting!

    Your quilt top looks great! I hope to make blocks or maybe a top as well. As soon as I get caught up on a few things. This is going to look fantastic all quilted up!

    That's pretty neat! You can make a lot of squares this way.

    With a 'continental' feel to your quilt, a wonderful selection of colour.

    You need a party! A quilt with no ripping or re-stitching! I don't think I have had one yet:) Looks great. Kevin must have done a great job planning!
