I wanted to make at least one quilt using Island Batik Fabrics, for the Pantone Quilt Challenge 2024.
There are so many beautiful peachy hues to choose from.

Cantaloupe (Island Batik Basic) from the Opulent Oranges was the closest match for Peach Fuzz.

So many ideas and so little time. I wanted to create something simple and minimalist different from Blush (a Colorwash inspired quilt top), and Peach on Earth (improv pieced quilt).
After playing with shapes, fabrics and layouts in EQ8, I chose this design.

The design took a week, while the actual making of the quilt took but one weekend.

| Borders! |
And here is the finished quilt. I have named it Mica.
Mica finished at 26" by 28" and will be entered in the Mini/Wall category.

ReplyDeleteI also see KISS
ReplyDeleteYou've been so productive! Mica turned out beautifully and so did your hexies.
ReplyDeleteThere is something slightly optical illusional about Mica, I reaaly like it
ReplyDeleteMica is a winner! Love your yellow hexies. . . I'm a hexie fan from way back!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeletevery pretty and the hexies are such a nice yellow/orange
ReplyDeleteThat is a great block, Preeti! Simple shapes, all by themselves, but they make an amazing design when all together. I like how the black background makes your peachy colors pop, too!
ReplyDeleteYears ago, I used to march in a drill team. The K's Go Marching In -- and Out -- and In -- and Out.
ReplyDeleteLovin' the hexies too.
All your peach projects are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow, Mica is beautiful, I love it ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE those cheerful YELLOW hexies for the RSC, Preeti!!
ReplyDeleteMica is stunning, too. Carrot has always been one of my favorite IB colors - that color that blushes!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on Mica. And good for you for entering the Pantone Quilt Challenge. Hope one of yours is a winner. Although, from my point of view it already is!
