Fit for a queen

I recently completed a quilt for our bedroom which is currently stuck deep in the makeover process.  By that I mean that the bedding is complete and I have a matching rug, the new curtains are still in the bag and the old are on the windows and the room is still pretty much blue.  But if you can just center in on the bed and pretend for a moment that it's been made, it looks really good!

I made this quilt using a wonky log cabin block and lots of imprecise cutting.  It was crazy easy and very freeing.  My inspiration came from a book called Block Party and a quilt named Once Around the Block.  No rules, just sew what you like. 

This was one of my very favorite tops to quilt so far.  I used three different colors - grey, lt yellow and dark yellow - to quilt large squares and rectangles to mimick the log cabin blocks.  I'm trying to learn better how to make my quilting match the piecing.  To enhance it instead of just being there. 

 

I usually dread quilting a queen size because of the bulk, but this was really fun and fast.  I should have taken a picture of the back too because it is pieced with leftover fabric and extra blocks.

 

 

Now I just have to make another one for wash days!!
