The Not Blue Ridge Beauty

I shared a little about my take on Bonnie Hunter's Blue Ridge Beauty in early February. I didn't have a bunch of blues, so I decided to make it with a bunch of reds I had on hand.

The block design is Blue Ridge Beauty from Bonnie Hunter's book Adventures in Leaders and Enders.

I decided to play with the layout in Electric Quilt (I use EQ8). I liked this layout so I rearranged the blocks until I had it on the design wall.

I used a technique called webbing to get the blocks all sewn up in the layout. Such a great technique for keeping the rows organized. If anything is wrong now, it's staying forever. 

I loaded up the quilt with a pieced backing. This quilt really is a great from my stash project. Not buying new fabric to finish a project is even better. 

I quilted it with an all-over flower motif. 

This is a great filler and goes rather quickly. It's one of my favorites. 

And a scrappy binding for the finish!
