A Finished Top

I was inspired by this weave blanket that my mom owns.  Every time I would see it, I was drawn in.  I took several pictures of it and measurements.  I figured "one day" I was going to replicate this blanket into a quilt.  Well, that was several years ago....

Much later, when I came across some fabric that looked like a weave pattern, I purchased what I needed.  Then, there is sat for a while......a long while.....  I already had too many projects on the go.  So, I told myself to get some of the other quilts done before starting this one.  And I did!

"One day" finally came.  A few days ago I pulled out the fabrics and started cutting.  Cutting the coloured strips wasn't that bad, but the 1" size fuchsia and the 3 meters of white cut into 1 1/4" strips were tedious and time consuming.

As of yesturday, I had half of the top completed.  Today, my goal was to finish this top, as I am going back to work tomorrow.  This is my version of the weave blanket above.  It's a bit brighter then the original blanket, but I love it!  It's so cheerful!!

I still have to trim the sides straight, but I figured I would wait until after it is quilted.  Not sure when that will happen.  I'm just so excited to have the top finished!

Here's a close up picture of the top.  See how the fabrics look like a weave pattern and how tiny the fuchsia strip is?  It finishes as 1/4" high.....insane!!

Have a great evening and take care everyone.
