Transparent Building Blocks {Pieced Quilt Top}

It was a treat to get to sew together the quilt top for Transparent Building Blocks last week, and below I’m sharing a quick GIF that toggles back and forth between the graphic design based on the fabric pull and the pieced quilt top. I love getting to see how similar the quilt can be to the concept!

 

With the quilt top pieced, it was time to see what fabric I had left and come up with a plan for the quilt backing. I didn’t have enough of the solid Kona Navy for the full back, but I knew that in conjunction with the remaining Kona Enchanted, I could pull something together.

After some quick calculations, I pulled together two options to run past my friends. They liked the option with the green in between the navy, and I bet I can have it pieced and the quilt ready for quilting soon. I’m planning to quilt a spiral using a green thread that matches the Kona Enchanted (the dark green) using my walking foot and a 1″ spacing.

What are you working on this week?

    It is so beautiful and precise looking. A spiral would certainly be absolutely gorgeous! How big is this quilt top if you don’t mind me asking?

  3. That GIF is SUPER cool!!! It’s going to be another wonderful transparency quilt.

  4. Ohhh This looks so great – and what a great comparison from the graphic to the real!!! For your borders – I like both options – that would be hard to choose!
