Bricks Version Two

This is the Bricks quilt.  Low volume, simple shapes, and a design created by value differences.

This is version two of the bricks quilt.  Definitely bolder, an opportunity to showcase a favorite Alexander Henry print and massive!  I couldn't get a picture of the whole quilt because it is taller than my eight foot design wall and doesn't fit on the living room floor unless I move ALL the furniture.
I still have to bind this monster.  I'm working on it.
When it's finished I'll try and get a photo of the whole thing and share a bit more about Anne's quilting.
Maybe I can watch an HGTV marathon of House Hunters tonight and get it done.

    Love the quilting as well. I'm a HH fan, too. I'm aghast at the Chicago prices you have to deal with. It's horrible what real estate costs now.

    They are both wonderful for different reasons. I love a simple pattern to play with.

    I love the original low volume version, but this one is fantastic too! The quilting looks amazing - all those changes in direction really add to the finished piece.

    What a difference between the low volume and version two. I love them both!

    Amazing. Shows of the fabric, piecing and quilting to a masterful finish. Every inch looks really well thought out. Brava!

    The pale one is specially gorgeous, like the sky at dawn.

    I've been planning to, ahem, emulate this design since I saw the first one. Love this one, too.

    I'm not often moved to come out of my reader and actually "trek" on over to a blog to make a comment -but that first version of your "Bricks" quilt is breath-taking...
