Elvira Quarantine Quilt

I stumbled across the Elvira Quarantine Along by GE Designs last weekend. I didn't need another quilt project, but I decided to join in. I've had this collection of fat quarters since 2013 and never settled on a project. This project makes great use of larger scale prints, so I it was the perfect candidate. I bought this bundle from the Fat Quarter Shop during a sale in July 2013. I also had a couple of one-yard coordinating prints and about a half yard in my collection.
These blocks are really easy to cut and piece. I used most of the bundle for the front. I used my Jaybird Super Sidekick Ruler to create the 60 degree diagonal cuts for the blocks.
I pieced the backing because I had a coordinating panel and needed to use it somehow. This post is split up with the next part appearing in a couple days. Have you started any new projects recently? I hear several designers have started quilt alongs. I might join in another one now that this one is nearly finished.
