Mystic Movement 18.5"W x 15.5"H $400
This is the quilt I just finished. I started it some time ago and was frustrated with the problems it was creating.
I started by just piecing some strata in color combinations I liked. Next step was to create the units composed of 2 half square triangles (or rectangles).
I ended up with more than one size and that's when I put it on the shelf to age for a "few years".
I recently put it on the design wall and saw how I could make it work. I originally designed it in portrait orientation. I photographed it before I sewed the units together and realized it worked so much better in landscape orientation.
I added some strips of the colored strata to make everything fit and I knew it worked.
The quilting is simple zig zag lines and I really enjoyed doing the quilting. I love machine quilting - something I never thought I would say!
I finished it with facings to match the back of the quilt and a casing. It is ready to hang on the wall.
It's also ready to be tonight's puzzle.

I really like this one Kay. I am glad you let it marinate. It is really rich.

Very nice...modern! very different but interesting color choices
This is MY FAVORITE kind of quilt. I've been guilty of the same -- making something terrific and then not quite knowing what to do with it! This is going to be a stunner!!
I absolutely love this piece!!! Your use of light and dark values really inspires me! In fact I was dying fabric this morning trying to get some lighter and darker values...we'll have to see what happens from there.. but I love your color choices!
I like your uneven block sizes. How big is it overall?
I haven't even measured it yet but somewhere around 18 x 24.
I love the colors you used! It's wonderful.
