I decided to use the Supernova pattern from the book Quilting Modern by Jacquie Geringand Katie Pedersen. I omitted the top and bottom rows, my block size was 2.5" unfinished, and I did it in a scrappy rainbow instead of the suggested color layout. I love how it turned out and hope my partner enjoys it! Finished size is 22" square.
I made one of Svetlana's drawstring bags, and I was extremely impressed with how easy and quick it was to sew this up! It's my new go to bag. I bought some paracord from Home Depot (roughly $3 for 50 ft) and used it for the drawstring. I just used a lighter to melt the frayed ends. This bag housed some of the extra goodies I included in the swap package. The package has shipped so keep a look out for it on a doorstop near you :)
Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts Finish It Up Friday.
Cheers!
That is quite a thoughtful piece. I like the way the colours radiate outwards and the you have added interest with the inflection of colour with your triangle corners. really nice
ReplyDeleteI like the way you handled the rainbow transition: concentric, but without the feeling of circles. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great swap gift, I'm sure your partner will be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mini quilt. I am sure your partner will be thrilled to receive this. Love that fabric used in your bag - what is it?
