En Provence 4

This is my En Provence. 

En Provence was Bonnie Hunter's 2016 Mystery Quilt.

The other 3 En Provence quilts I quilted  (one, two and three) were all E2E designs , so I decided to do a light custom on mine--continuous design, no stitch in the ditch, no rulers.    I did use two colors of thread, so I had to make two passes through the quilt but I was OK with that.  I 'gave' myself a budget, and was able to stick pretty close to it, so I was pleased. If I had used just one color thread, I probably would have been within my original budget.

And if you've seen the others, I love how different fabric choices (and in Colleen's case (quilt 3) a few different units within the blocks) can make a quilt look so different.

 This quilt was a little scrappy--I had 3 navys, and 3 of the teal/greens, and 4 neutrals.  I simply don't have a large enough stash to be able to make a quilt of this size from stash/scraps.

 I'm really really pleased with how this turned out.  I learned a LOT about making Tri-Recs units making this quilt. 

The binding and label are on the quilt now--I just haven't photographed it since adding them. 

En Provence 3 - a modified version

 This is Colleen's En Provence, which was Bonnie Hunter's 2016 mystery quilt. 

 Colleen modified some of the units to create this rounder shape, and she increased the size to make it king sized.  I love the circular effect she got, and the fabrics she used.  It is maybe hard to see in my photos, but the dark fabrics are gorgeous navy batiks, coupled with the golds in the Ohio stars, and the rich burgundy in the other stars, it's a very warm quilt.

 The quilt is a gift for some special people. 

 wool batting adds lots of loft.
