Rugby Stripe Quilt
I finished up my Rugby Stripe Quilt this past week and have been waiting for a pause in the rain to snap a few pictures. The color scheme and blocks were inspired by Samantha's blocks which she has now transformed into this unique sewing machine cover. I enjoyed working with the rather unexpected combination of chartreuse, navy, plum, aqua and black, and I was able to use up quite a few of my 2 1/2" scrap strips.
I made 40 Rugby Stripe blocks (you can find a tutorial for the block here). In this 8 x 5 setting, the quilt finishes at 56" x 70" which is a nice throw size.
I love the bird print from Violet Craft's Waterfront Park line on the back. It's just the right scale, and the Comma dot binding frames the quilt nicely.
I quilted in a simple meander which I find to be a good choice for busy quilts like this one. I've placed this quilt in my shop.

Dude. It's so good it hurts!
Just lovely! An inspired palette and I like your choice of backing/binding as well. Nice!
It's a wonderful quilt, and I haven't seen one like it before. What Debbie said!
This quilt is lovely, this unexpected colour scheme works so well.
This quilt is so fun and simple! I see myself making LOTS.
It's so cool!
