Blogger's Quilt Festival: ROYGBIV Quilts - Less is More

Hi! Welcome if you are visiting from Blogger's Quilt Festival! I am so excited to share this quilt with you today - it is one of my new favorites!



I finished this quilt earlier this spring for my quilt guild's solids challenge. The pattern is Less is More by Elizabeth Dackson, available in her book, Becoming a Confident Quilter.

I changed it up a tiny bit, but having the center of each block be one color, instead of a shade of the other colors in the blocks. The light grey is Kona Ash, and the dark grey is Kona Steel. I used a FQ bundle of Kona solids for the blocks - I really love the way it looks!

I finished up the binding on this on our drive to Indiana this March, and it snowed while we were there, so I was able to take my first 'quilt in the snow' pictures! :)

FWMQG Solids Challenge

I am really excited about this quilt! I purchased Becoming a Confident Quilter with a Christmas Gift Card, and I loved this quilt in the book (Less is More). I thought it would be perfect for the FWMQG Solids Challenge!



I used a FQ bundle of Kona solids, and changed up the pattern a bit to use what I had. I paired dark and light shades of most colors (I paired yellow and light orange and red and dark orange) and used Kona Ash for the centers of each block. The background is Kona Steel, and I like the blue-ness of the grey with these colors. This was a quick quilt to put together and I really like it. Now to make a backing and decide how to quilt it!
