Henrique's Quilt Top Complete

In the time it takes me to do one step in a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt, I got Henrique's quilt totally sewn together.  This is a super simple pattern, but you don't need a pattern to make it.  Just google free plus quilt tutorials, and you will find a bunch of them.  I didn't use any particular tutorial, but read  many.

This quilt is made of rectangles (12 1/2 x 4 1/2) and squares (4 1/2 x 4 1/2).  I used 13 fat quarters and may have been able to get the whole thing out of 12 if I had planned my cutting better (or planned it at all!).  I didn't worry about planning where the partial pluses would be.  I just cut a few extra squares to fill in spaces and cut off the rectangles that extended too far at the end.  This quilt is 48"x 60".




I need to get both Henrique's and Dandara's quilts done by July when they will be visiting the US.

I love the colour balance in the quilt top, the reds really pop out . How will you quilt it? Lucky person who will be given this quilt!
