Ice Floes Ta Da!

This quilt has been a long time in the making but I think it has been worth it. The blocks were made by the Together circle of do.Good Stitches. I first asked for these blocks in June 2014 and it has taken until recently to have enough for a quilt. The pattern for the quilt is called the trajectory quilt designed by Meg . I've named it Ice Floes because it reminds me of icebergs floating in the sea. It has exceeded all my expectations and I love it! Shame it has to go to Siblings Together!!

 

The back was kindly donated by the wonderful team at Pink Castle fabrics. I should explain: I ordered the green with white spots extra wide back fabric from Pink Castle fabrics and in error they sent me the white with green spots. They kindly allowed me to keep the white/green fabric and I promised to use it for a charity quilt. I think it goes well.

 

 

I went to town on the quilting because I thought it deserved it, with roughly 1/4 inch lines echoing the chevrons.

 

 

 

 

The binding is a solid blue Kona ( I don't know which one, should label my solids when I get them!)

I'm also linking with Nicky and Leanne for Scraptastic Tuesday ( the blocks were made from scraps).
