We seem to be drowning in an increasingly large sea of new fabric line after new fabric line with not much to distinguish one from the other.
In my opinion of course.
And then along came Mostly Manor from Victoria Findley Wolfe and the orange fabric in particular stopped me in my tracks and I knew I had to purchase some.
So I did.
I've never made a quilt with half triangle rectangles before so that's what I decided to do, using as many bright fabrics as I could find.
It was my first time using the Bloc-Loc ruler to trim this particular block and it took me a while to get a hang of it.
The long evening shadows meant it became very difficult to photograph it without inadvertently appearing myself.
How can you not want to hoard that orange fabric?!
I feel it's a happy, cheery quilt which hopefully signals the arrival of warmer, sunnier weather.
Stunning quilt I'm curious what took you to get the hang of the block locks because I still am trying to get used to them

ReplyDeleteI totally agree re this fabric I bought most of these myself. Lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt... I bought some of that orange fabric too... couldn't resist it! I have that Bloc Loc ruler too but haven't played with it yet. I do like their HST rulers a lot! happy stitching-
ReplyDeleteSame here. I love the BlocLoc for HSTs... haven't seen the others.
DeleteLooks amazing
ReplyDeleteYes- this Mostly Manor collection is definitely underrated and undervalued, which I guess I am fine with, because it's not sold out yet! Lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe intensity of those colours is awesome ... I'm quite partial to orange (might be my Dutch heritage). Fabulous quilt!
ReplyDeletethat is so beautiful! I to make all the dresses with that orange fabric!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours! I used to really dislike the colour Orange but since I have been quilting orange has crept up on me and I now love the colour and use it a lot. Haven't seen this particular fabric before - but you are right - it is stunning. Love your Half triangle rectangles. The back is delicious!
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy quilt!!! You are right about those fabrics, I also like the stripy ones in the same collection.

Gorgeous! I love the leopard fabric binding with those colours.
ReplyDeleteI'm so with you on that orange, the pink roses on the orange background is one of my favourite combinations. It's a fabulously warm and sunny quilt, and that late afternoon light is perfect to really make it glow.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful summer quilt, and we have sun here today!!
ReplyDelete(I don't mean to reply to a comment...)
DeleteLovely quilt - did you only mix in L's Basics by Lecien? (I love how the almost solid oranges work with that floral.)
No, I mixed L's basics and other stuff out of my stash!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt. I would never have the nerve to mix all those colors together but, boy does it ever work!
ReplyDeleteFabulous saturated colors! I stop in my tracks when I encounter the combination of a simple repeated shape with gorgeous colorful fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one, Alison! I love the leopard binding!
ReplyDeleteYes, love that bright orange floral. Fun, happy quilt indeed!
ReplyDeleteThe colours warm the temp right up! It's truly gorgeous. I've made those blocks for a bee. Tricky......
ReplyDeleteI have the same feelings about fabrics in general and this particular line. I bought some too, but I didn't make such an awesome quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Alison!!!!!
ReplyDeletegreat job on the HTR's..

Are the Two floral fabrics on the left from VFW as well. Such gorgeously rich colours - perfect to welcome summer.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on those fabrics. Great idea for showing them off.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors! I could never get tired of these.
ReplyDeleteI know where you can find it if not at your local quilt shop! Me! Your quilt is beautiful! Please request your ships to purchase the mostly manor or upcoming Meadow storm line! Shop owners are off to quilt market next week where they make their shop purchases. This helps all around.
ReplyDeleteShops! Not ships, of course...
DeleteThere are no 'local quilt shops' on my tiny island; hence the link to an online purchase!
DeleteWonderful job!! I love it
ReplyDeleteI love that orange floral fabric!
