Kira Quilt

You may remember I mentioned a quilt designer from GE Designs, Gundrun Erla.  She designed a quilt called Kira, and I loved how it looked. It also has large sections, so it would be a very good design to showcase beautiful fabrics.  I have a lot of beautiful batiks in my stash, and I hate to cut batiks into small pieces!  You just lose so much of the design in the fabrics.  I thought this would be a great design to use with my batiks!

I don't have the  pattern, but Grundun posted a 30 second video on YouTube showing how to make the block, so I was able to figure it out.  Here is the link to that video:  Kira video .

Here s Gundrun's version of Kira:                                          Here is my version.

  

These blocks are made in pairs, and it goes very fast.  I made all 48 blocks in less than a week.  They finish off at 9", so this inner part of my quilt will measure 72" x 56".  I will add a couple of borders to make it slightly larger, maybe 3 or 4 inches on each side.  I might make a couple more blocks and switch out a couple that don't seem to have enough contrast.  This picture isn't all that great and the colors are way more vibrant than this picture shows. I'll have to study it in better light!

I am pleased with this quilt.  :)
