This is beautiful! Your DH will love it! The colors are wonderful in this.

This coloration is STAGGERINGLY beautiful! (Your piecing looks pretty darn good too!)

Pls. excuse me if I ask did you color this yourself or is it from a pre-selected set or kit's colors. I ask 'cause it's VERY well balanced in value placement (light, medium, dark), which still gives me trouble so I need to really study this arrangement & try to learn from it.

If you colored it yourself I'd love for you to pls. share any thoughts you had or strategies you employed in it.

In several yrs. of lurking here & a yr. or so participating, this piece is one of the most EXCEPTIONAL works I've seen here to date!!!!

Canna, I'm almost speechless! Pls. be sure to update the pix when done, I beg you!

That is absolutely charming! I love the way you did the colors, and I am in awe looking at all those beautifully matched points!

Another great depression block quilt. I just love the colors and the diamonds that extend into the border. I was thinking about doing a "2 color" one and now that I have seen one, I really must do it. Great job.

LOVE the way the colors work together. LOVE the way the pattern keeps changing from lights to darks. Well done! Lucky guy!

That is truly a beautiful arrangement of color and a gorgeous quilt.

Rebecca,
It's beautiful! It's wonderful what a couple of charm packs can do, isn't it?

Mary

I love it, Rebecca! Blues with tans/taupes are a wonderful combination, and the pattern is great.

Bonnie

A beautiful combination of colors for the pattern. Great way to use charm packs. I agree that the points into the boarder is a nice touch. Your DH is surly your Valentine. TFS Jayne

Beautiful! I like it very much! TFS

Gwen

I love blues and browns together. Nice job.

Vicky

Oh, this is a great quilt! Good block choice to show off the movement of fabric. What is the name of the block?

Barb

Thank you all so much for the kind comments! I don't know the name of the block, but I got the idea from someone here on the forum that did the same block.

PG, the 5" charm packs are from Connecting Threads (link below). I had 4 packs of the Irresistible Indigo 2 and left out the maroon squares and bought 2 packs of the Irresistible Indigo 3 when they came out. I like using charm packs from a line of fabrics because it takes all the guess work out color coordination. Also, the squares are already cut out and ready to sew and eventually the half square triangles become trimmed 4.5" in size. This is a real easy block to do. Lots of half-square triangles and it is all in how they are arranged. I put them together to make 16.5" blocks.

That is a great looking quilt. The colors are really fabulous.

Beautiful quilt, stunning combinations.

I really love that quilt. It looks simple to make but colors just make it great. I buy fabric from them also because they put the colors together into a bundle better than I could.

I just love the quilt - your DH will be thrilled. Just looked on the Connecting threads site - great fabrics - great prices but they don't ship to the U.K.!!

I am in awe of your skills Rebecca. I was just browsing "Connecting Threads" (I love that site). Your quilt is beautiful and the colors and the way you placed them is wonderful!! I keep looking all the piecing and with practice I hope I can do such a great job myself one day!

Your DH is a lucky man...

Susan

LOVE IT!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THOSE COLORS TOGETHER!!!

NICE JOB!

Thank you Rebecca for explaining your thinking on the coloring. I happen to get the Connecting Thread catalogue, but haven't paid much attention to it so far. Guess I'll have to change that!

See the reception you're getting from everyone?? It really is magnificent. It even has a sort of 3-D quality, the more I look at it, the more I see.

Particular thanks for sharing this w/ us -- you give us ALL something especially fine to aspire to!

I agree with every nice comment above! It's beautiful and like everyone else I love the color placement. It is exceptionally pretty.

Oh the colors are just so nice together! And the pattern compliments them too! You must have enjoyed this project...oops...enjoying, you aren't finished yet! tish

Beautiful job ~ the points on the border really add to the visual appeal. Love your color choices. TFS

Marty

Thanks everyone! My DH really likes it and can't wait to use it. He really likes the colors I chose. I finally received the backing fabric in the mail yesterday and should have it quilted by the end of the week. I am really thinking about doing another in a two color batik of blue and turquoise. Really BRIGHT!!
