This is truly a scrappy quilt.  Nothing purchased and it all came together as if I went shopping.  I found the pattern in one of the quilt magazines.  It looked complicated, just took a little extra time.  Surprised at the outcome.

Quilt top is a block of the month design from The Son Flower Quilt shop. (Toledo, OH) My take on the color design is not to use a white background, but instead use gray on beige print fabric by Moda and a marble purple.  There were a lot of various shades of purple prints in the design that a very deep purple just put the icing on the cake.  It has really grown on me as I was not that fond of some of the blocks or color.  When I added my own touch of color and fabric I can live with it.  This one is not leaving the house.

Bought this ruler and looked at it for a couple of months.  Getting my nerve up, I finally decided to get started on something and use this new ruler.  I was so surprised at the outcome that I just kept on going.  This is a Deb Tucker Rapid Fire method using her rapid fire ruler.  Reading her direction was simple enough for me to make and I am still excited.  Turned out pretty nice, huh?

Phill's quilt!

As you can see this quilt is still in the need of binding on the edges.  I am making this for my daughter Phyllis that was started in 2010.  I have done so many other projects after I started this one  that I am a little guilty about finishing it.  When completed I will post another picture so you can how gorgeous it really is.

I have been working on this for quilt most of this year.   What I did do was to make it in twelve sections (quilting and all) so handling it wouldn't be so difficult, but nah! I then assembled the blocks after quilting and it was still huge.  You see I have Fibromyalga along with a bad case of Arthritis.  There were good days and bad that I would still try to work on this project.  Today I can say I got through it.  The fabric I chose was dark red on one end of the selvage edge to light pink on the opposite side so it depended on how you made your cuts that would give you the look of four different patterns from one yard of fabric.  The background fabric is light cream on cream print to bring out the reds and pink  Can't wait to get it on my king side bed.
