"Who Knew I Liked Orange?"



Here's a recent finish, to be donated to Charity. I made it for an online auction to be held by my Quilt Guild, Empire Quilters.



I designed this inspired by these strip pieced portions of yellow & orange strips I'd found.  There were two of them, already assembled full Width of Fabric as quilters say (approx 42-44 inches for American fabrics &/or quilting cottons). I needed to figure out what to do with them, as a jumping off point in designing something.

So I chopped them up & I assembled these two types of blocks, deciding to alternate them with solid blocks of the multicolored foliage fabric. 



Added another couple of rows top & bottom in related orange (seemingly bright & happy).


On a Bench in front of my Home.  A very satisfying project, which went together pretty quickly.
