Solids & Squares Quilt is all finished!
I finished the quilt that I made for my mother. I really enjoyed putting it together. As I’ve mentioned before, working with different colors and so many solids was a wonderful push outside of my comfort zone.
I’m so pleased with it’s combination of being modern design, but also simple and not loud.
For the back I did mostly blue with a strip of warm reds and browns – all fabrics that are in the front.
And I’m so happy with the binding on this one too!
I’m not usually drawn to batiks, but this simple one that my mother has told me is her “favorite fabric ever” works perfectly to add another small nice touch to the quilt. Can’t wait to give it to her when she comes for a visit later this month!

O the Quilt turned out amazing and I know your Mom will love it. I love your work.
it turned out beautiful!!
Beautiful quilt!
Your Mom’s quilt came out stunning
This is absolutely beautiful! I can see this as the kind of quilt that my husband might actually like in our bedroom. He is so hard to please and seems to only like brown, but I think a colour combination similar to this would please him. I am sure your mother is going to adore this when she gets it – especially with the beautiful binding you added.
I especially love what you did with the colors on the back!
it looks great! she’s going to love it!
I think the batik binding is very interesting, I’ve not used them much at all – it’s a nice touch, esp since your mom loves that one
So nice! I really like the binding too. And the strip of rusts on the back is subtle, but very effective.
Beautiful finish!
So beautiful……..great job!
Another beautiful quilt, well done!
You do such an amazing job stippling. That is something I am working on learning. Definitely not as easy as it looks!
Very beautiful quilt. It looks like it should hang in a modern art gallery!
What I like so much about this quilt is the all the colors against the light background. And the batik binding is an awesome detail. The whole thing is kind of like a contemporary Amish quilt–modern, bold and simple all at the time time. Great combination! Lucky mother…
it looks so great. your mom is going to love it.
She’ll be so happy her daughter made her something so special! Are they her favorite colors?
She’ll love it! It’s interesting how we feel making something for others vs. the things we choose for ourselves. It does make our minds work differently and that’s a good thing.
I think it’s gorgeous.

i love the back as much as the front!!
That looks fantastic!
that is one GORGEOUS quilt!!! i love it all-the back and the binding are perfect with the front of the quilt! your mom will LOVE it, i’m sure!
I really like this quilt. I need to make myself one. The back is great too. I am thinking of doing that idea on my OP quilt.
Wow, that is a lot of stippling! Nice! Maybe I should buy a machine someday so I can have crunchy quilts too.

That turned out nicely.
Great job! The binding is perfect! And the quilting pops really nicely on the back!
I really am drawn to simple, bold quilts! I love the batiks against the white fabric.
I stand by what I said before, that this is a beautiful and breathtaking quilt. I’ve loved the photos you’ve posted.
I loved your simple and dramatic design from first sight! As I scrolled down, I found your organization, layouts and stash a kindred spirit. I will continue to watch your site and link it to mine.
It looks great! I love these modern looking quilts.
I like the colors!!! Your Mom is lucky!!! Beautiful.
This is gorgeous! Fabulous job!
Awesome!
I don’t know which side I like more…the front or the back ;o)
has a very amish feel, modern and sophisticated. great work…she’s going to be one happy mom!
Awesome color choices. I keep coming back to take another look. I’d have a hard time giving this quilt away.
Thanks Teri! My mom picked out all of the fabrics (from her stash) so credit goes to her!
Love this quilt! The color combo is just striking…
I especially like the back – quite striking.
