Indeed, this is completely different from the quilt I posted about yesterday! This is a simple quilt made from charm packs - I used two charm packs of Maison de Garance and two of Bella Moda snow, with a border from a Rouenneries print.
It went together very easily - the hardest part was trying to settle on a layout, since HSTs can combine to form a near-infinite number of blocks. Even more than I had ever considered, before I had a look at my second-hand bookstore score described here. The one I finally picked wasn't even in the running when I asked for your help back in December.
I'm making this for a friend who's had a really horrible year. She doesn't read this blog, and I hope it will be a pleasant and comforting surprise for her. She truly deserves something much more substantially nice than a quilt, but we do what we can, right?
On another note, this is International Women's Day, so I thought I would leave you with this short vidoe. The message is sobering and not to lose sight of, but you get to see Daniel Craig in a dress. Does he have nicer legs than you? They're certainly nicer than mine!

It is gorgeous. Your friend will really appreciate and love it.
Very powerful video. Thanks.
And I love the quilt! It looks fabulous. I often find charm-pack quilts look too scrappy for my taste, but not this one.
love it!
we used the same block!
Very nice! Although it's not my usual style, I love this fabric line.
I think it is quite eye catching and will be a blessing!
yes his legs are better than mine!!
I love HST!
