And I have another finish to share with you. I'm calling this one "Crazy" because it sends your eyes a bit crazy as you try to pick out the pattern. However, I chose a very clever motif for the long arm quilting and that may help you to see the blocks. (Garden Trellis 4 by House of Creations)

I purchased this Kaffe Fassett Marquee Stripe fabric at one of our guild sales days and I didn't have a lot to play with. this is all of the blocks I could make from what I had. And it's long out of print now.
I couldn't find a fabric in my stash to complement the top, so the next best option is to go opposites so I went for beautiful Cactus Flower - also by Kaffe Fassett Collective.
I showed the early stages of this quilt back in July, and I had actually forgotten about it until I stumbled across it a few weeks ago. Fortunately I still had enough of the teal stars to do the binding in the same fabric. I'm very happy with that decision, although I did consider a black stripe for a while.
The Shiraz stripe in the border triangles is from Kaffe Fassett Collective too.
My Crazy quilt is 50" x 60" so it could be used as a lap quilt of on a single bed.

This turned out so wonderful, it's vibrant and alive! Happy stitching and happy Christmas!
Wow, that is beautiful! Thank you for telling us about the fabrics and quilting. Some details are hard to discern when you aren’t seeing the quilt in person. I thought the blocks were strip pieced! What a beautiful way to use Kaffe’s striped fabric! The quilting design really enhances the quilt. The border fabric and backing fabric are beautiful. (Trying not to use too many exclamation points….)
