Quilt with Analogous Colors: Reds and Purples

This is such a happy quilt!  I designed the pattern for this quilt around fat quarters of "Chasing Butterflies" designed by Lizzie House for Andover Fabrics.  

I had intended to fussy cut all the blocks from the "Chasing Butterflies" fabric.  A 5 x 5 inch square was perfect for capturing pairs of butterflies, so that was my starting point in this design.  As it turned out, because I only had fat quarters, I wasn't able to just fussy cut pairs of butterflies. Most of the blocks only have 1 butterfly.  But one is good too!

Here's the back!

Work in Progress: Quilt using Analogous Brights

Loving sewing with Lizzie House's "Chasing Butterflies" for Andover!  Lizzie put some bold analogous colors together in this fabric line, especially in the red and violet red designs! I followed her lead and combined her fabrics with Kona® Cotton Solids in analogous pinks/purples/red violets and reds.  The pattern I'm using for this lap/crib size quilt is my own design. 

More soon!
