Chevrons in Autumn

I finished my little chevron top using the wonderful clear bold True Blues from P & B Textiles. (you can see the complete line close up by following the link)





Upside down shot for good measure. :)

White was clearly the color of choice to use with these wonderful clear deep blues. I don't have much white in my stash, so ended up using a little surprise white. Isn't that cute?

And if you'd like to know how it is strip pieced here is my EQ diagram. The rows are sewn together on the diagonal. Genius piecing!

I had to add a couple of photos from our trip to the coast. After my sprinkly race this is how the day ended!
Took this gorgeous photo on our drive home. 

Happy Wednesday!

    I love it!! This is the design that I picked to make my daughter's wedding signature quilt! Isn't it clever. She wanted the chevron/zig zag but I didn't want to work with people signing the HST...this was much better! Sure hope her's looks as good as your's does!! Was it fast??

    I have to ask, how can you tell a chevron quilt is upside down? : )
    Love the nature shots!!

    You got that together quickly! Thanks for the closeup of the little birds - I hadn't even noticed, and they are so darn cute peeking out there! Gorgeous fall pictures!
