Chevron quilt I made and quilted to death using Glide and Glide 60 Mocha thread. I have to keep this one.
Backstory: Many long years ago, my friend, Laura Gunn, had a new quilting line of fabric coming out called Painters Canvas (2013) and she asked me to make her a quilt using it. Together we designed the pattern and she selected each color to match an afghan her grandma made. See it here.
In payment, she gave me a stack of fabric from a different line, the "Garden Wall Collection" that she had designed. It’s beautiful fabric, but orange has never been a prominent part of my color wheel. I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with it.
A few years later, as I was making as many practice tops as I could in preparation for getting my longarm, I ran across a pattern for a chevron quilt that had another quilt to make from the scraps. (That quilt has a story, too, but that will be another time.)
After making the two quilts, I used up the leftover fabric in the borders and backs.
