I have been working on this quilt on and off for a few weeks. I was mostly cutting and piecing the stacks of rectangles, but last weekend I sat myself down and pieced all of the blocks and finished the quilt.<\/p>\n

The piecing wasn’t difficult, but the cutting and the figuring out of how many fabrics to use was a challenge. I started off with a Birch Bundle<\/a> from Birch Fabrics\/FabricWorm.

I have to say that I felt the same way I felt when I made Passionate Purple. The purple on the design wall was depressing.
