Fireworks Quilt

I've likely been more sick than well in 2013, including most recently dealing with pneumonia that I've decided celebrate the end of 2013 with a Fireworks finish. I've been working on this quilt, a pattern called "Fireworks" by Camille Roskelley on and off for a while now. I finished the last block this morning and decided to play around with the blocks making a mosaic in Picassa to test out which layout I might prefer most. It's much easier than trying to scramble around finding free space on the floor to decide arrangement--each block is 16 inches and so it does take up quite a lot of space in the room.

The fabrics I used in this quilt are a little off my usual beat of late, they are mostly by Tilda with some Modern Meadow by Joel Dewberry thrown in. I am loving the soft feminine look of this quilt. I hope to get the blocks sewn together soon and on the long arm as I plan to free motion quilt this one and have been looking forward to the practice.
