I jumped on the chevron-stripe train because I love half-square triangles and the way you can make so many quilt block patterns from them and I had been feeling sort of modern-quilt-ish. This quilt also grew from my love of this turquoise fabric - you know how a fabric design can just grab your eye and you must buy it? (That happens to me a lot.)
While I love the color combination I pulled together to match my focus fabric and I love the design and the black accents and I'm happy with the machine-grid-quilting and the overall construction,
this quilt absolutely does not in any way fit decor-wise in any of my rooms. Also, it is sofa-size, which is a bit bigger than twin-bed size. When I start to make a quilt for no one in particular, I like to make a sofa-size because it satisfies my need to make the quilt, but it's not so big that I get overwhelmed and never finish. Also I am the head cheerleader for making quilts in general a decorator's primary focal point.
So I actually may end up trying to sell this or something. I have an Etsy shop all set up - it just needs to have the cobwebs dusted away. --cds
