Zesty Donation Quilt

In an effort to stretch my color and fabric print boundaries, I ordered a couple of mystery charm packs from MO Star Quilt Company. I figured it was the luck of the draw--they would either be colors I loved or colors that I probably should use more often.


Here is what I received:

The solid yellow and background are from my stash.

The name of the line is Zest. To make best use of the prints in the charm pack, I decided on a D9P, so I wouldn't have to cut the charms.

Here is the result:

64" x 75"

Purplish-grey binding matches a color in the print

Only one extra block this time--I'm improving! It went on the back.

Not my favorite colors or prints, but it should make someone happy! I'll have to try this again--stretching is good for me.
