It's still somewhat busy, but not nearly as busy as many of the X and Plus quilts out there. The monochromatic green color palette helps, as does the white space.
It finished at 60 x 72", adult throw size. Since it's just a little too long to hang well on my wall in vertical orientation, I also tried it in horizontal orientation. It looks crooked but that's photographer error - there's a group of agaves in the way of where I had to stand.
I found a green and white modern print in my stash that I can use for backing. I'll get it quilted in February and then donate it. It was fun to make but now I've gotten the X and Plus blocks out of my system, and it's time to move on to something else.
As X and Plus quilts go, I like how this one turned out.

I like it, too. The full range of green colors gives it interest.
ReplyDeleteI really like how this turned out a lot!! I agree, the various greens and the white
ReplyDeletehelp to make this one a lot less "busy" Nice work :))) Hugs, Julierose
It's a very fun quilt. The overall pattern really stands out when you have a little distance from it. Congrats on getting it to finished quilt top. I look forward to seeing what you start next.
ReplyDeleteI really like how this one turned out, too, but you know I'm always a fan of monochromatic. :) The extra white space around it really does help a lot.
ReplyDeleteI like how it’s all the same pattern but looks like a special center from a distance. Border fabric is fabulous
