Merry & Bright

 I had this fabulous fabric (fat quarter bundle & yardage) gifted to me.  It is the Merry & Bright line by Me & My Sister for Moda Fabrics.  I was so blessed with this gift and knew I had to whip up a quilt with it before this year ended.

I used the Original Turning Twenty Just Got Better pattern by Tricia Cribbs.  The design comes from the layout of the half square triangle blocks that are created by using one basic block & cutting it on the diagonal & sewing the half square triangles together.  In order to create the design on this quilt I chose to use the 8 green fat quarters that were in the fat quarter bundle which would give me enough blocks to create the zig zag & 3 green blocks on the quilt.  This is the third time that I have used this pattern this year but used different layouts each time.

This is a quick, fun, and I think lovely quilt pattern.  I used 3 fat quarters to create the scrappy look binding.  I call this quilt "Merry & Bright" after the fabric line.  It finished at approximately 75" x 90". Thank you Marcia Nielsen for gifting the glittery embroidery thread which I used on the label.  A huge thank you to Randi Deem for feeding my creative juices!!

I hope you enjoy looking at this quilt as much as I do.

Merry Christmas to all and may God keep you and bless you always.
