First, this is the "inspiration" fabric. (The one that I chose all of the other fabrics to go with.)
(Please notice the pink & light spots.)Here is the resulting quilt top:
The inspiration is the final round & will be the binding.Here is a close up of the inspiration in the quilt top:
Couple of things about this quilt pattern, in the book, the authors give you the amounts that you need for each round. You all knwo that you need less for the first several rounds than you do for the last rounds right? Well don't buy you fabric that way... If you buy the amount that you need for the last round, you can shuffle them around & try to get a pleasing arrangement.
Another thing, this pattern will always suprise you with how it turns out. I had no idea that that hand dyed pink was going to stand out sooooooo much. Nor did I know that the light blue next to it would look so gray or that the center would look so white in comparison... I really like th elast 3 rounds...
I also think that I could have played & played & played with the arrangement of the other for ever & still questioned the results. & For the record, I DID just that. This UFO was at least 4 years old...
Has anyone else done this quilt? Care to show & share about it on your blog?

No I have never made one of these quilts but this one sure is beautiful. I like the outcome. I might just have to look into this pattern.
What a great quilt! You are so productive! Love that inspiration fabric, too.
I just love that inspiration fabric. It turned out to be a great quilt, but no, I haven't amde anything like that.
I have one in progress (still) from several years ago and I really love it! I just posted a picture on my blog of what I have made so far LOL. Now I want to work on it again!
Your's looks fantastic! I love your fabric choices!
it's lovely! I need to try one of those -- maybe we need a blogger challenge!
Congratulations on finishing a UFO, I've looked at the pattern for this quilt over and over, just never got around to doing it. Yours turned out beautiful!
It looks wonderful! You can never go wrong with a nine patch, whether it's split, disappearing or blooming, the result is a great quilt.
Holy frickin cow. That is fantastic, Amy!
Wow!! It's wonderful! and I love your inspiration fabric.
I'm just getting around to reading blogs from the last 2 days and would you believe I posted a quilt of the very same pattern the same day you did? Were you sending vibes out?
I love this quilt! Intriguing. I'm very tempted ...
What a beautiful, beautiful quilt you've made! I love the colors! What sparkles! I have a book with something similar (but yours is much nicer!) so I wonder if it the book you used. If it is I'm inspired to try it! What book were you using?
Love those blended blocks in the outer borders. Haven't done this pattern yet, but yours is gorgeous!
WOW, that's really stunning! Great job! Em
