Minerva Rhapsody Quilt

I used the Byzantium print cotton linen gifted by Minerva Exclusive for review, to make a quilt for Mr W's friend. It is 45% cotton 55% linen.

I paired it with Benartex puppytooth print in red, and a black on grey Windham print. The alternating blocks are from the Moda layer Cake 'Lancaster', I chose the linear prints, to let the Byzantium print shine. It also gives the feeling of brickwork or building tiles.

The pattern is Rhapsody from Fabric Cafe Fat Quarter Quilting Treats, but because I used prewashed fabric, I had to cut the width of the blocks 1/2 inch less, I then added 1 inch to the third border. It measures approximately 46 by 66 inches.



I'm adding labels now! Also hand tying the thread stops by pulling it through with a needle. Straight line quilted this is dark grey Glide thread for both sides.
