Thank you for the nice messages you sent me, I am feeling better…
I am glad I can finally show you the quilt (well, the top) I made for my husband.
Here is, I love it !!! My husband loves it too.
I used a few suggestions you kindly offered me in a previous post… thank you !!!
I managed to make it in time for February 14.
It measures 80″ X 90″ ( 2 x 2.25 m ) and has 42 12″ blocks.
From this fabric I made kaleidoscope blocks, in two sizes…
then I added strips and here are the final blocks…
I wasted a little fabric ( I did that for the first time !), but surprisingly I did not feel guilty…
I used this fabric for borders since it did not find its place in the pieced blocks …
I bought it special for this project so I just had to use it. I am glad I have enough for binding.
and I am crazy about this toast fossil fern fabric…
I have worries too…

I like the effect produced by the white strips…

I did not pay attention at all where I placed the green and the blue blocks, I was in such a hurry to finish piecing before the arrival of my husband. I am not entirely happy with this setting but what is done is done !
I worked two days on it but I did not feel too good, normally piecing would take less time….
I have worries too…- I did not pre-wash the fabrics, I did not want to distord the striped fabric. But I usually make a dense quilting and I hope there will not be any problem.I never pre-wash the fabric I use for kaleidoscope, but this time I did not pre-wash any fabric.
- I don’t know when I will quilt it…I hope I will do that before his birthday, in August !
Do you like this quilt ? I will write a tutorial in a few days…
i think it looks lovely – the colours really appeal t me 🙂
E foarte frumos!
E vesel pentru ca ai "jucat liber" careurile (vorbesc din punct de vedere plastic) atat de divers pisuite, e si masculin, prin cromatica.
Are suflet, ce mai!
Sunt foarte curioasa cum va arata dupa ce il vei quiltui:)
Spor la treaba si inspiratie libera!
It's wonderful! And sooooo fast! I wish I could squize in just a little more time to play with my yarns and fabrics…
Can't wait to see the tutorial! The look is beautiful!
Warm hugs,
Sandra
I think it looks great, Geta!
Wow, I knew you could do it! It turned out very well. Hope you like it, because it is really lovely. Hope you are better!
Da, ne place 🙂 E foarte frumos! Si intr-adevar faptul ca patratele nu stau la rand ii da dinamism si veselie. Bravo Geta, din nou ceva minunat iesit din mainile tale.
Hi Geta, your husbands quilt looks great! I'm glad you feel better! Hugs, Renata.
That's a great 'man' quilt! I have such a hard time using stripes that I hardly buy any…well not for quilting anyway, but they sure do make an easy 'square in a square block. Love the colors…and that border fabric especially….love the bubbly effect…
Yes, I love the quilt and can't wait to see the tutorial for it.
Thanks for such a great blog.

It looks fantastic, no wonder your husband loves it.
I love the way it turned out.
It came out just beautiful! Don't worry about the layout; I am discovering that even if I spend hours on block placement I am never entirely saisfied. Nobody but you sees anything amiss, believe me! I would love to see a tutorial, you do such fine work.
It turned out really great! Good work!
Great quilt. Would love to see the tutorial.
Love it, Love it, Love it, Love it, Love it! Congrats on a beautiful quilt!
It's a terrific quilt!
Wow! I look forward to the tutorial.
Love, love, love this quilts. It looks like great fun for the maker and for husband. Great job! Thank you for sharing your methods.
Glad that you are feeling better. And Have a great day.
Looks great. I never prewash fabric and have never had a problem. . Can't wait for the tutorial. Hannah
I love it. I love the fabric and the design.
Love it,, Glad you are better..
Alot of people dont wash their fabrics any more.. The fabrics back in the day needed to be washed because of fading now days the fabric is better. I don't thin you will have any problems. The only time I prewash is for the baby quilts .
Hugs

Precioso!!!!

Geta, that is the first "tilted" block quilt I can truly say I like. It really was the right move to put the dots on the border. Don't worry about the layout, sometimes I think we get too orderly. This quilt demands differences! I knew you could do it!
I love this quilt and the fabrics you picked for it….. awesome!!! Good to hear that you are doing better!
It is really pretty and the striped blocks are wonderful.
great use of that fabric!~ Nice job!
It is a real "mans" quilt Geta, good on you. I like how you mixed the stripes with the spots and the layout looks great. I think what appeals to me personally is the colouring you used…it is so fresh.
Cheers
Your quilt top turned out fantastically!
Great colours on a lovely quilt. I suposed he was happy to get a quilt like this 🙂 Have a great day.
Fabulous. Love the colours you chose.
