Finished Reunion Bricks Quilt

Finally - a new finish.  Hooray! This quilt is mostly made from the latest Sweetwater collection for Moda fabrics, called Reunion.  I love the colors and prints in this one.  I used my Brickyard pattern for this quilt. I've been wanting to try that design again (esp since I don't have the first quilt), but do it in a completely different color scheme.

I used a Layer Cake (stack of pre-cut 10" squares) for the bricks, which gave me lots of prints and colors to play with. The sashing is Kona charcoal.  I did not do the quilting - it was done by Becky Heslop (hi Becky!).  I gave her free-reign to do what she wanted, and love the outcome. 

I especially love the simple way she quilted the chevron fabric on the borders - totally changes the look of the fabric.  The binding is a red dot leftover from Freebird.  I'm trying to only use the fabric I've already got on hand - even if it's something I was saving for another project. (gasp!) Because who knows if that project is ever really going to happen.  It's time to use that stash.

I think that I love the back equally much.  That little pennant print is charming.  I also used the left over 10" squares from the layer cake to piece the back, but I needed more fabric to supplement so I used some solid red. In looking for a few more blocks to add, I pulled this plaid from Denyse Schmidt's latest collection, Aunt Edna at JoAnn's. It was perfect! It was so perfect - I wished I'd used it in the front too.

Reunion fabrics are available at Fabricworm, Little Fabric Shop, and Burgundy Buttons. Pattern available in my pattern shop.
