Puzzle Pieces

I’m calling this one Puzzle Pieces, because that’s what it ended up being – a puzzle to fit all of these blocks together.

Images taken in a very snowy Prospect Park.

Originally, I planned on making wonky blocks, but then I started cutting and before I knew it I was fitting together lots of different shapes and sizes, but shapes with straight, not wonky cuts.  I’m not sure I’m totally in love with it yet, but I’ve never done a quilt quite like this so it was fun to make it all fit together.

The one thing I really do love is the fabric – Rebecca Bischoff’s Blythe collection for Robert Kaufman.  I really love the rich colors and wanted to cut some bigger pieces to really show them off.  I also added some Kona solids to break up all of the prints.

My favorite print is the blue floral and I have a big piece of that left that I’m going to use for the back.  I’m trying to decide if I’m going to use the blue floral and then stick with all solids for the back, or if I want to use some of the leftover prints I have, too.  Decisions, decisions.

Now I’m off  to work on the back of this quilt this week!

  1. This quilt must have been a challenge to put all the different shapes and sizes together.
    I really like “all” the colors and the
    picture in Prospect Park is fabulous. That
    would be a great image to frame. What quilter
    wouldn’t like that?
