Graduation Quilt

A dear friend has a daughter who will be graduating from

high school this year.

Two years ago her sister graduated and I made a quilt for the occasion.

Time to make a quilt for this graduate.

Last year I bought this kit on Craftsy for a deal

and it's been sitting in my cabinet,

waiting for its turn to come out and play.

After making the Escher quilt,

I needed something mindless and easy.

No seam rippers were involved in the creating of these blocks!

There are two small blocks that make up the big blocks for this design.

 If I were to make this quilt again,

I would add more fabrics to the mix.

Actually, what I would do is have a solid fabric in place of the

light fabrics in these blocks.

It's been a challenge to arrange the blocks so that

like fabrics aren't together.

Finally, I said it's done.

There are patches of the same flowers

together in nature,

so I can have like fabrics together in my quilts.

 Hopefully this will be a completed top by the end of the week

and then will go in the

"to be quilted" pile.

(I did just move the block closest to us

so those green pieces aren't lined up together.)

**Edit**

 

This is the 12 1/2" unfinished block that makes up this quilt.

I'm linking to Design Wall Monday today.

Happy Quilting!
