2 in 1 quilt

So, this is my quilt of (too) many colors! You can see here 9 rows, the top has 13 rows.


- 90"x90"  ( what size is this ? I made it 10" wider that I planned!);
- 163 blocks;
- It was a challenge to make it!

All the steps in making this pattern are time consuming and cutting the triangles from strips and pressing are the most annoying ones.


I pieced the top in vertical rows and I worked with half of blocks  - I don't like at all this. And pressing long seams - the worst thing! 
But I think all the effort worth it.

Could you see this pattern in 3D? Look at this picture below...


and look at this picture below... Could you see the difference ?


You can see it better in this picture below. This is my "2 in 1" quilt. The same pattern - two different designs. I just have to rotate it 180 degrees.


I love it, even if the piecing is far away from perfect. I hope the quilting will hide all the imperfections and will make it even more beautiful!


Tomorrow I will start a new project so the quilting on this one will have to wait a few days.
