APQ Quilt Along Finish

The second pattern I chose for the APQ Go Four It Quilt Along was Buried Treasure by April Rosenthal.

This is April's quilt.
Here are  my blocks set exactly like the pattern.


But you can turn a few blocks here and there and also get this pattern if you prefer.


I found working on this pattern pure joy.  I love the colors (Scrumptious by Bonnie and Camille for Moda) and learned from my last quilt that I prefer a plain white background. It was easy to piece, all the points and corners matched up perfectly, and it went together in no time.


I decided to stick with April's layout.


This is Lifetime Quilt Number 150
The pattern is Buried Treasure by April Rosenthal and is in the April 2015 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting.
The fabric is all Bonnie and Camille for Moda, mostly Scrumptious.
It finished at 64"x 64"
It has approximately 896 pieces.

My favorite daughter has dibs on both my APQ Go Four It Quilts, they are definitely her colors.  I also plan to make Edyta's pattern Scraptacular but am stumped on what fabric to use for the non 4 patch rows.  I'm going to wait and see what some of you come up with, hopefully that will help me get it right the first time.  Barb, from Me and My Sisters Designs, is making Scraptacular out of her latest line Bandana by Moda.  She is using a color palette that I love, and is working away on her 4 patches but has yet to reveal her solid row fabric, I'm eagerly watching.   If you spy a great Scraptacular be sure to let me know.

  2. I think this quilt is spectacular and I love the other layout. I think I may have found my fabrics for the first quilt, and I love the Bandana fabrics so I may have to use those too!
