Tangerine Dreams ~ Ready to Quilt

When I caught my first glance of Kona's color of the year, Tiger Lily, I was ecstatic. Orange is unquestionably one of my absolute favorite colors, and the reddish-orange of Tiger Lily hits all the right notes with me.

I knew I was long overdue for an orange and gray quilt! I rarely make quilts in all solids, but it seemed like a good idea for this quilt. While hunting for patterns, I realized I wanted to make another quilt from my Haphazard pattern.

After a lot of clicks and iterations, I finally decided on a layout that spoke to me the most.

The quilt top got completed pretty quickly since it was all half-square triangles, which is one block I can say I mastered. (It's because I can trim it to size ...)

In all honesty, because it's all solids, this quilt top really lacks life at this moment. But that's what the quilting is going to do ... give it life! The last time I quilted this quilt, I was happy with my quilting decision, but I'll probably do something a little different this time. Probably.
