DSQ aka 'The Quilt of Fear'


I finished it! Okay, I actually finished it about a month ago, but it has taken me this long to get around to blogging it. 

It is my Dead Simple Quilt.  Lynne of Lily's Quilts suggested this quilt along back in August.  Yes, that is NINE months ago.  Nothing like 'quilting along' with everybody else is there?!  But hey, it is finished and I am very pleased with it.


I am most pleased with the back of the quilt.  This is the side we actually have showing on our bed.  I find the 'front' of the quilt a bit too garish for the bedroom.


The solids are Klona colours Ash, Purple, Blush, Jade, and Gold

  2. It's beautiful. I have no problem with colour, but do know that I like something restful in the bedroom. Did you quilt it in straight lines?

    I am gathering the courage to start a small quilt for my neice or nephew... I don't have nine months left! (mid you, it will need to be a bit smaller than your lovely monster!)
