Quiltmaker sent our quilt, Cinder Block, back to us. Â The pattern is in the current issue. Â You can find it on news stands now.
For this-I was the designer..Kelli the piecer and me again for the finish work. Â We make a great team!
The magazine does an awesome job of showing it off…much better that my pictures. Â It’s actually a gray color. Â Mine make it seem more blue.
I love the swirly more feminine quilting motif with the boxy look of the blocks. Â I actually think with would make a great bed quilt…not feminine and not masculine. Â It’s also a great quilt for a gift when you don’t know what someone’s style is. Â It’s just contemporary.
This is made with Moda’s Bella Solids. Â The gray is their Silver 9900183 and the white is White Bleached 990098. Â When I ordered the fabric from the sample room I asked if they had any backing fabric that would work with the top. Â I wasn’t picky..just something white and gray. Â This is what they sent and I love it!! Â It was a perfect choice. Â It’s a V and Co fabric.
I can imagine this quilt in many different color ways….in school colors for a graduation quilt…in purple and gold for a Minnesota Vikings fan. Â I can even imagine scraps where the white is and a solid color for the gray. Â It doesn’t have to be a two color quilt.
Taking the pictures with just a bit of snow on the ground makes the blocks almost look like snowflakes.
This quilt was so in those last crazy days of April this year. Â I think the fabric came in on a Monday and the quilt was sent out the following Wednesday….CRAZY!! Â Those are definitely deadlines I don’t care to chase anymore.
It’s funny with quilts that go into magazines-even though the quilt is finished, it never really feels finished until it’s home and write a blog post about it. Â Then is really feels like the project is put to rest.
I had another finished quilt this week. Â If you missed it, you can see it here.
Today I am hooking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict, Crazy Mom Quilts, and Link a Finish Friday.
I totally love this quilt. Can’t wait to read more in Quiltmaker. Your choice of fabrics is perfect! This design will definitely be on my list to make.
I’ve not made a two color quilt but when I saw it in Quiltmaker this week, I put it on my to-do list. I love it and I love the gray & white – which I would NEVER have thought to do! Thanks for all your inspiration. I enjoy following your house project as well. It sure gets exciting when it starts really coming together!
I love red and white quilts and that would also
look amazing in those colors.
A modern take on Burgoyne Surrounded.
Beautiful, refreshing design and execution.
Another for my list!
I love two color quilts! The quilting is amazing on this. I might have to make one in green and gold for my Packers!
Beautiful finish! I love classic design and the gray, 2-color scheme.
This quilt is a knock out. Way to go, Bonnie and Kellie. The two of you are amazing.
PERFECT!! And look at your pup…posing like a super star!!
what a great quilt, can’t believe you made it in 2 days! Oh, that would have been so stressful! I have worked on many projects for MBS, but I would LOVE to design a quilt for a magazine! Please tell me how you go about it applying!
I like your fun pics with dog :) they just make me smile for some reason. The quilting is lovely too.
Wow! That is fabulous! And I admired the other quilt you referenced too. So glad I got to see this.

You’re right–this quilt would please anyone. It’s a great combo of traditional and contemporary. I really like how the blocks make a diagonal design across the quilt.
