Here is the flimsy for the Modified Tradition quiltalong. It was on my list for the Joy in the New Year challenge, but it didn't quite make it. And even now it isn't finished finished, but the quilt top is pieced. I do have the backing and batting for it, so I'll be quilting it one of these days soon. The dilemma will be how to quilt it.
It's destined for the lab, where we have a godawful brown Naugahyde sofa. It will be nice to have a quilt to wrap up in to read journal articles or mark student papers.
I like it more than I thought I was going to. I like the narrow sashing and the small, plain setting blocks, and, while I'm still not sure that blue was the right choice over the red that was also in contention for the sashing, I think it works okay. Thanks, Jennifer and Crystal, for starting this quiltalong!

Lesly, it turned out great!!!! I love it!!! The placement of the blocks, the narrow blue sashing, everything!!! Happy New Year!
All I can say is "Wow!" and every time I think I find the block I like best, another one catches my eye and I change my mind! Same with the fabric!
Quilting? No clue! LOL
Please show us it in situ when it's done!
absolutely beautiul.. I love everything about this quilt!
I love it too. The dark blue sashing really makes it for me and I love the combo of colors and patterns you used. Very fun.
What a beautiful finish. My eyes keep traveling over it looking at all the different blocks. Keep us posted on how you finally decide to quilt it.
The sashing really makes this quilt sing. I think it gives it more of a contemporary feel. Love the look!
Wow, what a beautiful quilt. I love the dark blue sashing and your layout. I'm looking forward to working with you on the Maple Leaf Bee.
Lesly, yes, the deep teal works. Nice with the deep red. Love your layout.
Wow! This looks fantastic! It turned out perfect! Love it!
How beautiful! I LOVE what you've done with this quilt...different sized blocks, the blue sashing, the addition of squares in just the right places...this is fantastic! Thank you so much for quilting along with us!
Wow it is turning out really beautiful. I like the blue sashing. It makes the red very dark and striking.
I really like your sashing choice. I think the quilt turned out great! I'm kind of wishing I participated too now.
This turned out great!
Lesly, this is amazing! I've really enjoyed watching your progress on this quilt. I'm a huge red fan but think the blue sashing was the way to go. It's just lovely, Congratulations!
Oh, see! I thought I had mine all figured out in my head, and then, I see this! I love the narrow sashing. The dark color calms it down, I think.
Great job!
LOVE! It is stunning, and the narrow sashing fits it perfectly!
