#100Days100Blocks2018: Trellis

The first quilt top I got from the #100Days100Blocks2018 challenge is complete. Trellis is the layout I used for this one because I love the graphic, high-contrast look of the frames with the colorful blocks.

This quilt required some advanced planning, as I knew I wanted a rainbow effect that washes diagonally, and the colorways in Pacific allowed me to do that. I drew a color chart in advance so I knew how many of each type to make. Once I finally finished the blocks, I laid them out on the design wall.

Once the layout was complete, it was time to make the sashing strips and to assemble everything. While I liked the rainbow look by itself, once the graphic sashing frames came on, it became so much more beautiful.

It took me a few days to assemble this, and once it was finished, I was so incredibly happy with how it looks!

I'm not sure when I'll get to quilting this, but just finishing this top is good enough for me, for now!

  7. The blocks looked good all together on your design wall but your sashing is awesome! It really frames the blocks and pulls the design together.

  8. Hi Liz! I never expected those sashing strips as it looked gorgeous on your design wall. But the black and white really brings the whole quilt over the top and finishes it off spectacularly. I can only imagine how you're going to quilt it, and cannot wait to see. Super job! Happy Saturday to you. ~smile~ Roseanne
