A new direction…

I’ve been busting out the Trip Around the World quilts for years now. They’re super quick and easy and make a pretty, colorful quilt. However, I’m tired of the design. Each quilt is as pretty as the last, but I’m just ready to move on to something new. On the other hand, I didn’t want some super detailed pattern that would take hours to make one block. I found a cute, easy pattern the other day while browsing the craft blogs and thought it would be fun to try.

My color choices for this one were inspired by a quilt by Rachael Adele creations, otherwise known as my dear cousin Mindy.

Here’s the finished top:

The pattern was easy to follow and not terribly time consuming. At least, I didn’t notice the time passing. Here’s the pattern I used.

As for the back, I’m still thinking about what I want to do there. I’ve found myself really drawn to quilts without a plain backing. I’ve been really drawn to the ones with a row of small rectangles across the back. That may be what I do, but for now, I’m going to let it sit while I consider my options.
