This is quilt #2 made from Deena Rutter's Happier fabrics.
I really love the way that this one shows off the cute prints.
I really love the way that this one shows off the cute prints.
I'm excited because this one will also be displayed in the Riley Blake booth at Market next week. I know there will be tons of other quilts and displays - mine may end up in a tucked-away corner - but I'll know it's there and that makes me happy. 🙂
I pieced the back with some of the trees and the more of the stripe and used the green with blue dots for binding. This fabric lives up to it's name - it IS very happy.
I am writing a pattern for this one. When all the craziness around here dies down a little. Because, let's face it, the craziness never completely goes away.





What She Quilted says
I love the brick quilts, and love yours as well! fantastic! How exciting that it will be at market!
Ellen says
It IS very happy. And how marvelous to know that so many ladies (and a few fellas) will be oohing and aahing over it in the Riley Blake booth. I love the orange pops of color - I would never consider myself an orange person, but I just love orange on quilts! I need to add orange to my stash. Congrats on another gorgeous finish!

What a beautiful quilt!! I've been looking and looking at tons of quilts this week. I want to make my daughter a full sized quilt with bigger squares like yours. If you write up a pattern that one may be the one I use! I haven't seen any others come close to the idea in my head! 🙂
