The closet is half empty of the fabric stash.....of course the spare bedroom is a wreck! But a little each day and we will be prepared for the upset/repairs. And thanks for all the reasons to buy more fabric. Blogging friends are such enablers:)I still have my machines available for now, so I wanted to finish up the water color throw. Binding is now on and the label too.
Reflections is a small lap throw......48'' by 60''. It was an experiment and play time for the layout. I had never tried this type of layout before. I began with 14'' square foundation of fusible interfacing. That means the block units would be 7 squares (2'') across and down. Each block unit was shaded and blended individually. I could have joined the blocks together without the light sashing, but for some reason I preferred the sashing this time. I added pieced strips of dark florals for the border.
This experiment is done! And I get to scratch off a project on the to-do list. That is always satisfying.

Love the Reflections finish. The light sashing does add something.
Very pretty. I love the effect.
Oh, Debbie, Reflections is a beauty!
It is just a lovely piece and such a 'reflection' of you!
Your experiment was highly successful! Reflections is gorgeous. The sashing really adds to it. I'm so glad you still have machine access. Hopefully the repairs will be behind you before long. ~Jeanne
Yes, there is plenty of light shimmering. It looks gorgeous photographed outside. What challenge/idea is next on the list?
It looks like the first rays of morning light through the mist. Love it!
Wow, creating something that beautiful must be more than satisfying, it's gorgeous.
It is always good to experiment with layouts and especially ones that you wouldn't normally do. This one turned out great.
Or trailing vines over a garden trellis. Whatever you want to call it, this is a very pretty, soothing quilt!
"Reflections" is such a unique and incredibly beautiful quilt! I can imagine rays of sunlight shining through to brighten the darker areas. Your setting of the blocks truly is a gorgeous arrangement! You should be very proud of your creative accomplishment! ---"Love"
Ваша акварель, как всегда хороша! Ну очень красиво. :)
This is so beautiful. I love the arrangement. I agree with Janet that it reminds me of a garden trellis with its washes of color.
It looks so pretty and cozy. Nicely done.
Congratulations on a lovely finish! I love pieces with unusual or unexpected sashing.
Beautiful arrangement, your experiment certainly paid off.
