Atmosphere Quilt Along

I really wasn't looking for a new quilt along. I already had several block-of-the-months to keep me busy, not to mention a slew of other projects I had queued up. But when the Atmosphere quilt along was announced, well, how could I resist?

I really wasn't looking to buy a kit. I had bins full of scraps, and shelves full of fat quarters. But when the lovely bundle of 34 Kona fabrics came wafting under my nose, well, how could I resist?

So I fell headlong into the Atmosphere quilt along. Cutting and organizing the fabric was arguably the toughest part!

The blocks are simple and straightforward, just some flying geese and half-square triangles combined with squares and rectangles. But the beautiful array of colors made it so exciting to work with.

This quilt was a joy to put together. All that rainbow goodness was making me super happy. I guess color really acts as a pick-me-up.

I haven't done a rainbow quilt top for quite awhile, and I love this! The quilt pattern also comes with a minimalistic version that I might have to do sometime as well.

  1. Love this...can see why you were drawn to it. QALs are often things I can use fabric I mostly have (except if I need backs or borders). It is a help in reducing a stash that I have accumulated, but is going down nicely.
