I like everything about it! The fabrics, the colors, the simple pattern that shows off those gorgeous batiks. I'm sure you'll use it as a TV snuggle quilt but I bet it will be the one you toss on the bed for those extra chilly nights, too.

It is just beautiful,I am like k8orlando...I like the colors, the fabric etc A job well done

Your selection of colors is really the star on this one. It is simple but a wonderful showcase for the batiks. It's like you chose a simple pattern because you didn't want to cut them all up in little pieces. It's a treasure for sure. Good job.

Beautiful and I agree it is a great pattern for such gorgeous fabric. DH and I were watching TV today and they showed two men ice fishing in Minnesota, too cold for me lol, I have seen snow one time, it was so pretty but I was freezing!

Very classy color combination!

Rosa~you've only seen snow ONE TIME?????? Was it real snow - where it accumulated on the ground or that itty - bitty snow flurries you all got in Georgia last year?? ~LOL~
Yes, snow is freezing!!! we are lucky this year - no real snow to speak of - hope I didn't jinx it!

Lois~you put together a simply elegant, beautiful quilt! The batiks are so pretty - they shine in the simplicity of the pattern. I love it! The Champagne Minky will be perfect! Please post another picture when you are finished!

Another reason I'm beginning to like the batiks...seeing that awesome combination of neutral colors! Since that pattern probably works up fast, I wouldn't doubt that you may want to make another similar quilt!!!

No seams or points to worry about matching:)))

Looking forward to seeing the finishing touches!

Your top really is beautiful. Have you decided how you are going to quilt it?

Lois, your quilt is beautiful! I LOVE the batiks!

What size did you cut your blocks?

Sometimes simple is so elegant. I think it was wise to let the lovely fabrics speak for themselves.

Thank you all for the compliments. I was a little concerned when I was piecing it, that it would be too busy, but I'm really pleased with the final (well almost final) product.

Kate, the blocks are 7.5" x 10.5". Eight columns of seven blocks each. The pattern called for only 7 columns, but I had extra blocks so I figured I'd just make it larger. It's 56" x 65". It took 16 fat quarters. I'm using the leftovers to make the binding. That will probably take longer to assemble than the quilt top.

Because I'm using Minky on the back, I will take it to a long arm quilter. I'll probably have her quilt a very curvy loose pattern to offset the rigid brick pattern of the blocks.

It's looks so elegant!
Those fabrics are gorgeous and I like the pattern you've chosen. It's perfect for showing off the fabrics.
Thanks for giving the measurements.I was wondering about the sizes and the number of blocks you used.

TFS.

Luscious and elegant for sure. Love it.

Beautiful! I love the colours and your choice of fabric.

My favorite colors, and simply love the batiks. Please post again once finished.

Excellent!!What a wonderful way to display beautiful fabric. It will be interesting to see how you decide to quilt it. It matches the decor of you bedroom perfectly, right down to the paneled door which inspired me in the way I would like to quilt it.lol. Congratulations on your choices and TFS.

Love Love Love EVERYTHING about it. Colors, pattern, design....but especially the colors. would you share the name of the pattern? or is Simple Logs the name of the pattern?
Thanks for sharing

Murphy, the pattern is Simple Logs from www.quiltedtreasures.net. I'm so glad you like it. Lois

Beautiful, Lois. Reminds me of a cup of delicious mocha latte.
