Modern Building Blocks

Shelly brought her Moda Modern Building Blocks quilt.  It is hard to get a sense of the scale of this quilt from one photo. The largest blocks are 36"!   The second photo shows it on my queen size bed to get a better idea of what it is really like.

This kit came out in 2015 and Shelly got pulled into the wave of people joining in.  The instructions were very unique and caused Shelly to put the project away a number of times before finishing it.  With having to cut each of the 48 blocks from a separate page of instructions and limited piecing instructions I can see why this turned into a multi year project!

Shelly requested straight line quilting, and we decided to keep the spacing organic.  I tried to avoid the stitching lines going in and out of the ditch.  I think the lines add a nice simple modern finish.

Shelly added a lovely floral flannel backing that gives the quilt a spring like feel.

This quilt was quite the undertaking and I think Shelly should be proud that she saw it to the end!
