2023 Riley Blake Design Block Challenge

 

I finished piecing these blocks almost exactly one year ago today. Most came from the Riley Blake Design 2023 Block Challenge. These blocks are all 10” finished, made from Riley Blake Confetti Cotton Solids. While I pieced these, I also made identical blocks that were 12” finished. The fabric for those was donated, from the Marti Michell “Rambling Rose” line for Maywood Studios. The Rambling Rose quilt has already been hand-quilted, bound and donated to the Intermountain Medical Center in Murray. These blocks took me longer to set, as I wanted to make use of the scraps I had left over, without having to buy much more. Right now, the top is 70”x80” finished. If I add a two-inch white stop border and a three-inch outer border in teal (I think Riley Blake calls it “rainforest”), the finished quilt should be about 80”x90”. Or I could leave it as it is and call it a big sofa throw.
