...until a couple of weeks ago when I found them and wondered why I had left them languishing?
I cut up a bunch of strips and started making blocks; Instagrammers encouraged me and soon I had 42 blocks. Ignoring housework, visiting guests and internet shopping, I sewed them together.
...
And now? Well now I have a flimsy measuring 72" x 84" ready for the New Year when we get back from England.
Without sounding like a creative lovey, I feel like I have gone back to my quilting roots with this one. Little or no negative space, bright and bold. That's me.

It's a 5 Star quilt for sure and you are a "Rick Start"...private joke.
Just gorgeous! And lovely setting for your photos, as usual!
Ooh Annabella, this is just scrummy! The bright and bold colours are just perfect in this quilt - and it has something of a Moroccan feel - very appropriate!
Its beautiful Annabella!
Such beautiful and rich colours!
So lovely! The colours are very you!
I'm in love. Totally crushing on those bright colours. Will look forward to the finish on this beauty.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season!
This is beautiful... so big. What a treasure it is going to be when you get it quilted. I noticed your note on Jennifer’s blog that you are making the blocks in Modern quilt blocks, too. I have finished chapter 1 (the crosses) and started the rectangles today. When you get your back out, please be sure to post so I can follow you, too. It is so much more fun when several people are doing the same thing. I am so jealous you got to go to England. I am what I call a displaced Anglophile and miss visiting there so much. Hope you had a wonderful time. genie from buttonsforbaga.blogspot.com.
Sorry you've had a rough time of it!! Glad you are back tho - your quilt is lovely!
