"Arapaho Roads"
Number 50 in my 2" strips series and third and final in my mini series of quilts made with the same primary block while only changing colors.
This one has quite a few variations from the last two in this series, and I am pleased with the final effect. I had fun with this one while working on the design in EQ.
Once again, I've had a tough time choosing a name for it. I've had help and by now I've decided on the same...The free pattern up here.
The tan fabric is second hand, as well as the blue low volume fabrics (there are several) and the whiter/brighter low volume. I did an all over stippling. This is my second quilt ever to use wool batting. It was easy to work with and washed well!
Have a great quilting day!

Synopsis from Publisher:
In a completely updated version of her 1977 classic, Diana Leone (owner of The Quilting Bee store in Northern California), takes readers--clearly and thoroughly--through every step of quilt-making. Leone's comprehensive approach begins with a roundup of supplies, a fabric selection guide, and all the other details of getting started, then moves on to piecing and appliqué. Next come finishing, assembling, and quilting instructions. Sampler lessons provide details and diagrams for 36 different quilt blocks, arranged alphabetically and keyed with a system of one to four thimbles to indicate ease or difficulty. A beginner or intermediate quilter couldn't ask for a better guide to the basics.
