Last year I made a quilt for my dad. I bought the fabric at an incredible price, and I bought plenty. So I made a second quilt. Actually, I made a second quilt top, didn't like it, so I chopped it up and made a third. I like it so much better!
This was my first layout, just pieced in the middle with some big rail fence blocks. Didn't like it so then I swapped the outer most fabric for a solid brown.
Still didn't like it so I unpicked the blocks and chopped them up. I took this layout idea from a quilt called "Sugar Pop n' Change" by Melissa Corry. Aah... Much better. And it was easier to quilt because it was much smaller. :)
Here is the back. I actually took the original quilt's outside borders and added a strip of leaf fabric in the middle. And now I've Reduced (the size) and Reused (the fabric.) ;)
I may have shared some similar pics on my other quilt, but I just had to show these again. They remind me much of my dad. He's never had a mustache like the fisherman on the fabric, but he did have a fishing rod, fish basket, and net. This guy's is only missing the hip waiters and float tube! :)
