Gravity

I had to put Whirligigs away, it's about 95% done.  I am waiting on the mailman to bring me a little more black fabric, such a tiny amount I needed, a mere 4.5"  WOF.  I guess because I made it bigger, that little bit extra caused the shortage.  Or, I hadn't planned on 44 delectable mountain blocks either when I calculated yardage.  That's what I get for changing the plan!  Anyway ...!

I just got out a different UFO (I have so many to choose from!) and got to work.  I chose the Gravity quilt because I had quite a few of the color blocks already finished.  So I have been busy working on this one while I wait for my Whirligig fabric to arrive.  Gravity is a rather large quilt, and as of right now, it has no name on it either.  I have no particular recipient in mind for it.  I just thought it was pretty when I saw it.

Gravity is made from Anthology fabrics by Robert Kaufman.  These are solid colored fabrics, and the fabric is very very nice, almost like a linen.  Anthology fabrics come in 303 different colors!  Wow!  This quilt will be fun to quilt, I'll have to think of what color thread to use.  And how to quilt all these spaces.  More fun awaits!  But until then, here is my progress on the Gravity quilt!


As you can see, it's a rainbow quilt, with a black/gray background, all done in diamonds and triangle shapes.  I have a couple of specialty rulers to make this easy, the "Sidekick" and the "Hex and More" from Jaybirds Quilts.  I love those 2 rulers and have used them for other things besides this quilt. This was originally a Block of the Month from Jaybirds, and I signed up to do it.  I have all the fabrics now, and just have to finish it up.  I am liking this project!
