I finished the Split Decision Quilt top except for a row right before we left town. The bits had been tucked away and my goal in life is to not start ANY new projects until ‘the list of the unfinished’ is conquered.
I made a similar pillow when the Hope Valley Line came out last year. I don’t think I’ve ever used this much of a single line of fabric in a quilt, but I think the orange chambray helps it out.
My pillow was inspired by a pillow made with this fabric.
I discovered that Joelle Hoverson’s technique for her Wee Bits quilt was easily adaptable to an improvisational technique I used for the quilt. I’ve taught the Slice and Insert Technique in my Improvisational Patchwork Classes here in Seattle. I now have the Split Decision Quilt top on the class calendar.
I’m a little over the fabric, but still love it and have my quilting design in my head. Just need to piece a back with this Anna Maria Horner (flannel yeah!) I scored on sale.

You are too sweet. I love the colors too!
Ashley says
What a great design! I’m looking forward to seeing how you quilt it!

I love everything about this top….which isn’t surprising seeing as how your pillow made me drool the first time I saw it. The AMH flannel is going to perfect on the back.

I love this quilt. I haven’t seen anything like it. Very clever. And fortuitously, I just order some Hope Valley online today.

Love the quilt and this line of Denyse Schmidt fabric. I’m using it for the Single Girl ~ it’s turned out really nice, but I’m so over working on it (sorry to say).
Wish I were closer to Seattle and I could just pop up for a class ~ I’d love to take one with you!
Sew Katie Did says
I only ever made it through one ring.
