A beautiful quilt!!! Love the design and the combination of colours.
Such a beautiful quilt!
Gorgeous! Love the pattern and the colours you chose.
Just dropping by from the Fabric Tuesday link party.
Love the bright, happy colours you used in this quilt as well as the pattern.
Looks great with those solids! How long does it take the piece all those squares??!!
@ Jamie Lee - The pattern called for cutting squares which I, as a strip quilter, refused to do! I strip pieced the blocks and didn't cut any squares.

I really, really like this quilt, do you think you may be doing a tutorial for the strip piecing? Or, how many strips make one square? 8? 10? 12? I can't find the corners... That is the whole idea, right?! I really love it.
@ Helen,
The pattern is from the Moda Bake Shop as noted above. The original pattern looked insane having you cut 800 pieces - No Way, I said, not in this modern day of strip piecing!! I cut the jelly roll strips in half to make it more scrappy. I also find it easier to keep the seams straight when pressing a 21" strip as compared to a 42" strip. Then I sewed strip sets of 1 colored / 2 whites (actually one 4-1/2" white strip), 2 colored / 1 white, and 3 colored. Then I subcut them and sewed them into 9-patch blocks. Make 99 more blocks, and you're set for a quilt this size!
Hope this helps!

Your quilt looks gorgeous. I love the modern twist of having it radiate out from the corner - very cool!
