And now for something completely different.
Ok – it’s not completely different – it is “me” in that it’s improv. pieced, but this is way out of my comfort zone!
And I love it! Holes to fill and It’s going to be a full sized quilt so I have a long way to go but so far so good. In this photo the purple pops more than it does in person and what looks like black here is actually dark brown… I think that I’m only going to grow to like this more and more as I keep working on it. And I’m officially a purple convert! Don’t think that I’ll suddenly be using it tons, but I’m loving it in this quilt.
And it took about .2 seconds for me to fall in love with this Lantern Bloom fabric line.
Normally I go for more graphic stuff, but this is some pretty pretty fabric… Ok – back to it!

those blocks are awesome!!! i lothe that fabrics!! great colors!
ps. i’m hosting my first giveaway (if you want to come in)!
Wow! I love that lantern fabric too! It’s going to be an interesting quilt…
So fascinating, I’ve never done a quilt with ‘holes to fill’ but I am now inspired. The lantern plant is the fabric that caught my eye when I first saw the quilt. Love it!
Ooh, very interesting.
Question about process: are you just making it up as you go along in terms of block sizes? Then figuring out how to get them all together?
Ah, no white! That is different!
I love how bold this one is… looks like it’s going to be a stunning quilt!
very pretty!
Alissa, it’s going to be gorgeous! What a rich color palette!
The colours are so vibrant! Loving the bird cage print
I just bought some purple fabric yesterday so I’m with you on the purple thing.
It looks neat! And like a fun project to work on.
Yay! It’s so beautiful!
What a great quilt! Looks like fun, too! I love the Lantern Bloom fabric. Hmmmm…. Might have to get some of that….
Beautiful…best use of this fabric I’ve seen yet!
Love the fabric and really love what you are doing with it. I agree with Tiffany that this is the best use of this fabric I’ve seen.
Stunning. You never fail ….
Amazing! How nice to see you mixin’ it up a bit and still having the result be as beautiful as ever.
An outstanding project. You always inspire me.
I’m still a purple skeptic, but your progress so far looks amazing!
I am so mad at you! I bought this fabric for a quilt for my living room and I have been trying to come up with the design, something improvisational and modern, something I come up with on my own without a pattern. But now, I just want to copy yours! Really, I love it.
Wow! That is awesome!! I love the fabrics and your design.
I love how this is coming along! The colors are so amazing!
Looks great Alissa! I love the solids mixed in with those prints!
cant wait to see it all finished…this is just wonderful…clever you…
This is really great. I love how you have left some of the fabric in fairly large pieces. It really shows the fabric off this way. Can’t wait to see the finished quilt.
It’s beautiful, keep going!
I love the way the framing accents the beautiful fabrics. This is stunning!
it’s so very wonderful!
Wow… that is really beautiful.
I love what you are doing here, it looks great.
It’s gonna be un chef-d’oeuvre!!!
Absolutely gorgeous:)
