{Post #45} B & B Center is Finished!

When one buys fabric according to pattern requirements, there is always so much left over.  So when I bought the fabrics for this quilt (which I affectionately call the B & B quilt--not bed and breakfast...blue and brown!), I got just a teensy bit more than the pattern called for and have plenty of fabric for two more rows, making the center 60" x 70" instead of 44" x 70".  I also got a smackerel more border fabric than it called for and have enough for the bigger quilt, plus the border will be an inch wider.  Win, win!!

I already have the quilting design planned out...one long feather in the zigzag and just meandering in the churn dash blocks. 

Here it is...


I.  love.  it.

    Nice job Joan! When the blue/brown and pink/brown color combinations started to become popular I didn't much care for them. I guess that's because I've never been a fan of the color brown. Over time though, I have come to really like the b/b and p/b colors together and I have to say that I really like the shade of blue you chose for this quilt. Three cheers for another fabulous quilt that you can be proud of :o)

    I really like it. Love how it's off-set...which makes the zig zag. I'm like Susan, took awhile for the blue/brown to sink in.
