This is my cousin M. I spent Thanksgiving with his family. Had a great day. As I was looking around, I noticed his family room needed a quilt. When I got home that night, I went right into the studio and went through my books to figure out what kind of quilt it should be. I wanted something relatively simple.
In the end I settled on Kathy Doughty's Fractured quilt. It's a variation on a rail fence quilt. I started pulling fabrics. M's house is relatively neutral, so I wanted earth colors - blues, greens, browns and an occasional purple. These are the ones I chose.
On Black Friday I went into the studio and cut the strips into segments and then made the first blocks. This is the row that goes down the center. The quilt is ginormous - as designed it is 84" x 96". That's seven feet by eight feet - which is stupid big. I'll make mine smaller.

Love your fabric choice, great pattern so have fun I made this a few years ago, thinking of making another one!
I'll really enjoy watching this come to life.
