A fun, modern and funky sew-a-long by Jackie White and the Canadian Quilters Guild. By combining each month with the colours issued from the 'rainbow scrap challenge', I can use this very gorgeous, just had to come home with me, indulgent splurge of the Fat Quarter pack and the white tone-on-tone print.
I thought they looked very nice all stacked up, but when I opened the pack and laid them out - oh heavens above - a very pretty rainbow. The fabric range is called "Dashwood Ditzies". The white is a tone-on-tone from Robert Kaufman.
The blocks are very different and far more modern than I would normally make, but they were super fun to construct.

I had never kept up with challenges before, but this one had me eagerly awaiting the pattern downloads each week. Such addictive blocks to make.

During December the decision was made by the Organiser to have 54 blocks for a more even quilt layout. I added 2 extra blocks to have 56 for a 7x8 block layout. It's truly wonderful to have been pushed into making something so modern and not at all like anything else I've ever made. I am certain that there are more 'modern' quilts in my quilting future.
For more quilts made using these same blocks, click here, where you can see the wonderful work by other quilters as well. So much fun and so many setting ideas. I truly enjoyed being pushed out of my comfort zone to try something new.

You must have had a lot fun working on your 52 in 52, its lovely.
What a beautiful beautiful quilt Andrea, I also visited the link and was amazed at how different the same blocks looked made up in quite different settings and colours. All very different but stunning. I do love how fresh and clean yours looks using your fabrics with the off white. Stunningly beautiful.
