Rectangles & Gray.
Wish I had a more exciting name for this quilt (edit: I’ve named it April Retangles!) because I’m so happy with how it came out.
I improv. pieced wonky rectangular blocks like I did with the Lantern Bloom quilt, using the gray to unify all the blocks. It’s a lap quilt, measuring 48″ x 59″.
I love this quilt. I really really do.
I used some gray Kei dots on the very simple back.
And the binding is a stripe from Red Letter Day. I think it works really well.
It’s for sale in the shop!

I think you should call it Candy Box. Or the other thing I thought of was Fried Eggs because of that one block in the lower right-hand corner that looks like two fried eggs in one box!
It’s a wonderful quilt! What lovely color combinations!
fantastic! great colors!
Very nice! I do like the gray in this quilt quite a bit!
Gray’s Quiltery???? (Been watching too much Grey’s Anatomy lately…)
I am loving the GRAY!
That looks gorgeous! Shh, but I like it better than the Lantern Bloom quilt.
This is great. Love the combo of colours.
It turned out amazing! Love love love the grey
Its gorgeous! (Which doesn’t surprise me) =)
Grey makes almost any quilt amazing!
It does work – beautifully!
Call it whatever you want, it gorgeous! Love grey! Next to brown, it’s my favorite.
The grey is wonderful, I love it! I think rectangles & gray is a great name for such a perfectly simple modern quilt. I really do love it.
Love it! The grey is sensational…as are the rectangles!
I’d name it something like Sun Breaks. The bits of color on the grey backdrop remind me of the sun peaking through the sky on an otherwise rainy, grey fall day.
PS. I looks beautiful! Great job!
I’m in love with your quilt. It’s so beautiful, your quilts are amazing.
Love the gray background with your improv blocks!
I have some gray that is just itching for the right idea. I always love a wonky block.
Wow, Alissa! This is spectacular!
This is really gorgeous – I also enjoy charcoal greys as borders and sashes. Well done!
Gorgeous!
It’s beautiful.
Very pretty Alissa – I love the grey and how the printed fabrics read as solids on the photos. Love it!
