I took it outside in an attempt to get truer color, but you still can't tell that the binding and part of the cubes are purple grunge.
The quilt was made using the one block wonder technique. I put a piece of the original fabric on the back. This is Treasure Hunt by Marcia Derse.
Vicki Johnson of Threads That Bind Us did the longarming. Again, I can't get the true color of the fabric. The backing is not as blue as it is in the last picture and not as gray as it is in this one. My camera has problems with purples.
The quilt is 68"x 76". I don't know yet who will get this one. We really have more quilts in this house than we need, but all my boys like this one, so I may have to keep it.

What a beautiful quilt! I love the blend of blocks.
I don't know why cameras have problems with purples. It is not just yours. I can never get a good photo of purple.
Your quilt looks brilliant!
It's beautiful -- I like the way you incorporated the tumbling blocks!
Congrats on the finish.
This turned out so pretty!!!! Yay for the first 2019 quilt!
