Color Play Finished Quilt

A couple of years ago, my dear friend lost a child.  I wanted to do something to let her know of 

my love and to brighten her day just a little, so I gave her my original Color Play quilt (below).  

It was made out of Riley Blake Confetti Cotton Solids and was very bright and happy.

I thought it suited my friend perfectly.

Fast forward to January of this year, I decided to make a new Color Play quilt for my home

in earthy, fall colors.  I found these two prints (below) at the Quilter's Lodge in Draper, Utah.

They're Morris and Co. fabrics and inspired my whole fabric pull.

I thought they were so pretty and would go nicely in my home.  

I then chose a Tilda solid fabric in the color ginger for the main fabric that runs through

each block and added in a bunch of other coordinating prints from my stash.

I used different shades of peach, greens, yellows, browns and blues.

I made sure there was plenty of contrast between my prints and the solid.

Color Play is a beginner-friendly pattern that encourages you to

play around with different color combinations!  It's easy and fun!

It's 2-1/2" strip friendly (but as you know, I mostly used my stash for this one).  It's a very versatile pattern.  You can even rotate the blocks in different ways to truly make this pattern your own!

Color Play includes instructions for 4 different quilt sizes.  I made the queen-size quilt.

My friend Jen Ostler in Highland, Utah, quilted it for me with the Vinery panto by Karlee Porter.

I thought it suited the feel of the fabrics and the diagonal layout of the blocks quite well!

I machine-bound it and then threw it in the washer and dryer for some extra crinkle.

You can really see the quilting from the back side.

Per usual, I added one of the labels I get from Ever Emblem.  They're so easy to sew into the binding so I don't have an excuse to not label my quilts!  I get the 2" cotton, fold-over, sew-in labels.

If you want to get some for yourself, you will just have to pick one of their basic cotton labels

and customize it from there.

Sometimes I get asked how the labels hold up.  This is after one wash.

I think they do really well; however, I don't wash my quilts all that often, so keep that in mind.

I'm glad this quilt is finally finished (it took me forever to bind it and take photographs!)

But it's the perfect timing to add some nice fall vibes to my son's bedroom.

It's my favorite time of year.  I love the cooler temps and cozy vibes

that blankets, sweaters, and socks bring!  Warm soups and baked breads!

Snuggling up with your people at the end of a long day.  It's just the best.

This pattern would be cute in any color way.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I'd love to know what you think about this quilt,

your favorite season, thing about fall, or favorite fall recipe!

Happy quilting!
