Friendship Watercolor wall hanging

Last week I started a Friendship block quilt breaking up each unit into smaller pieces. There are 256 - 2 inch squares and half square triangle squares using roughly 40 different fabrics.



Watercolor quilts always intimidated me because I am not very fond of spending a great deal of time moving pieces around for the desired effect. This quilt was much easier because I just choose 8 fabrics for each quilt quarter and lined them up dark to light then laid them out in diagonal rows.

I think jelly rolls or honey buns would work well with this quilt as long as you could get a good mixture of light to dark fabrics.

    I love your work. The colors you use are amazing. I am practicing to make the bright homes table runner but have a problem with the instruction of the on point nine patch.
    This water color friendship quilt is next on my MUST MAKE schedule. Thank you for sharing your works of art.
