We've only had a dusting of snow since I finished my Blitzen quilt top. I decided to just take some pictures for now and more later if we get snow! I'm calling this quilt Christmas Cogs.
The top measures about 56" square and is made of interlocking cogs. I used Basic Grey's Blitzen exclusively for the quilt top and binding.
The backing incorporates a large 27" pieced block made of Blitzen scraps. The rest of the back is Ruby Dot in Aqua and Grey. I found it at Fresh Squeezed Fabrics.
I will be posting a brief tutorial for making this quilt on the Basic Grey blog in March. I'll be sure to let you know when it is up.
Oh Amy it's gorgeous, I love the colours x

ReplyDeleteit's really, really beautiful, Amy!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a really lovely quilt and the back is magic! We have lots of snow here and it is far too cold for my liking.

Wow. I adore the whole thing, but I especially love the graphic quality of the block on the back. :-) The old rock foundation,split rail fence, etc. made for some lovely backdrops.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Amy! I love the back. The colors are really stunning, I love not-quite-traditional colors for Christmas/winter collections.
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous, Amy. I will look forward to the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy there is not much snow around here but it is kind of weird for February. No snow in the forecast either!
Cool, love that backing block
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful quilt Amy, that block on the back is the perfect finishing job!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful and the back is equally stunning!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is sweet. Great job Amy!
ReplyDeleteI love both sides of this!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! I can't wait for this line to come out... I love the aqua, it keeps it from being too Christmasy: )
ReplyDeleteI love it Amy. I agree with Alice, the aqua looks great with this line and is a nice change to the traditional Christmas color scheme. Awesome quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt's great. I love the back as much as the front!
