One Block Wonder

This is my favorite quilt so far. This is the orignal fabric, which is "stacked and whacked" to make the quilt. I also used this for the quilt backing.Here is a close up of the finished quilt.And here it is hanging in the stairwell.This one goes in the quilt show in the spring.
The hardest parts of making a quilt like this are 1) finding a fabric that works (I think I did a marvelous job of that if I do say so myself; I was surprised how difficult it was), and 2) deciding on the layout of the blocks. Thanks to W for his help with that over a period of many days.

    WOW! Your Quilts are beautiful! I have only been quilting for a few years and am still learning. However I find the manipulation of the colors and patterns to be a very emotional experience for me.
    I love the colors in this one of yours!
