Blogger's Quilt Festival: Mustang

I took one of my dearest quilt friends out for another photo shoot today.

 

 ...And I decided to take Mustang, too.

 

I thought that the first round of pictures I took for this quilt out on an old barn (here's the link) were great, but I think I like these better. This quilt was made for a day like today.


I also got some feedback from the original post that a picture of the block would be appreciated. I am happy to oblige!


The final stats on the quilt:
Each block is 18.5"
The dimensions are 55" x 72"
Quilted in straight line with Aurifil 1147
Finished in August, 2014
The original blog post

Linking up with the Blogger's Quilt Festival, large quilt division.

    I love the third photo from your post today - the bright blue sky and yellow field complimented by the quilt is so lovely. A close up of the block is so helpful for understanding the quilt, too! Good luck in the festival!

    This quilt is absolutely stunning. I thought is was woven instead of pieced. You did a wonderful job here.

      Thank you, Natalie! Each unfinished block is 18.5." The blocks were constructed like a 9 patch. Each of the sections is 6.5."

    Wow, this quilt is really amazing! Those blocks look time consuming but the effect is so striking! Love that it is a traditional style but the fabrics and colors really make it so modern. Voting it as one of my favorites for sure.
