Sneak Peak of the Brilliant Blues first blocks.
The metallic bits are not showing up in the photo. Believe me-- It's prettier than it appears here.
When I opened it up, there were almost too many strips the same, and I had to add a few more blues to get enough variety with darks and lights.
First Snowfall by Hoffman. It's subtle with just a little metallic.
It made the blues pop nicely. It reminds me of my Grappa and Gramma's 25th wedding anniversary when I was a kid. They had a lot of silver for their theme.
On my trek to Appleton a few weeks ago, we also stopped at The Courtney Woolen Mill to pick up a wool batt. The quilts we love tend to be the big fat comforter types that are tied, not quilted. We pile them on the bed in winter--the wool batts. I think this one will be a nice winter quilt -- with a little bling to brighten the darker days.
Still need to pick something for the borders and binding, but that can come later.
Phoebe's Flower Box Quilting Tutorial

I think this is the same basic pattern for Fuzzy Logic (from Strip Therapy) or the same pattern I used for the Copper Canyon/Autumn Copper Batik and Stained Glass Quilts. It's a very satisfying quilt
