I was so taken by a black/grey and turquoise quilt, that I immediately went digging through my stash for fabrics to make one similar.
I've had a hankering to do some easy piecing-just sewing squares together and this certainly satisfied that urge. Besides that, all these fabrics except one were in my stash. Who knew?
At this point I have no idea what I am going to do with this quilt. For now, I think it will live on my chair which is over 100 years old. The modern and the very old seem to work quite nicely together

What a great colour combination!
Wow! Love this quilt!
Hi Carla! Looks beautiful and the old precious chair is perfect match! I also miss to make easy pattern - not to think much - just enjoy the process. That photo from the barn makes fantastic header! x Teje
I love it!! Maybe that is what I need to do too... make something simple, quick and gorgeous!! Thanks for inspiring me!
What a wonderful quilt. I think I'll make one myself, thanks for the great inspiration.
Good ol' Pinterest. What a great color combo, and you shopped in your stash too! I love the chair shot.
Now you just inspired us :)
I love Pinterest - and that lovely quilt in your chair is a perfect example of why :*) Love those colors together and the simplicity of the design - especially your quilting design - it's perfect!
Fabulous colour combo! It's wonderful that you just decided to "stop, drop and quilt" -- with beautiful results.
I really like the quilting. V effective.
It looks great on the chair!
A lovely, stylish and modern quilt! And it does look lovely on your old chair....the colours look great together.
Happy weekend.

Sometimes the simplest ideas turn out the prettiest! What a lovely quilt Carla! The autumn trees in the first photo are gorgeous too!
It looks perfect on that chair. AND the fabric combination is so great! The best quilts to me are the ones that are sooooo fun to make!
A fabulous quilt and I agree, it looks fabulous with your chair.
The modern and old always live happily together; tis very eclectic. I can see many hours of you rocking in that gorgeous rocker atop your pretty quilt, Carla. Who would've thought that you would have most of those lovely fabrics in your stash! I concur, so often Pinterest gets it completely right!
Oh, yay! This is yummy! Love that last pic and could not agree more. That sweet quilt looks right at home in the old rocker.
I LOVE those colors. It looks gorgeous and sounds so soft and comfy.
A beautiful combination, Carla. Funny, I've had a hankering to do a simple patchwork quilt and your pretty version is convincing me that I MUST SEW ONE TOO. ;o)
Great colour combo. I think old and new go quite well together.
Beautiful, love the colours.
This is an absolutely beautiful quilt! Simply is sometimes the best way to go. Fantastic colors.
the chair and the quilt were made for each other. absolutely love the quilt
Love the color combo. Sometimes it's just all about the fabrics! Your first photo is so awesome, btw! I was going to ask what size the squares were and then I did the math and figured it out myself...LOL.
I love that quilt!!! (That’s my kind of piecing right there!) And you found the perfect place for it to live… it works perfectly on that chair.
Carla, this is a striking quilt and love your idea of triple quilting lines. Good Job.
Hopping over from NTT. Love the quilt! I have black and turquoise fabrics just calling my name from my stash too. Pintrest is great, but my list of quilts to quilt grows every time I go on there.
Love it! Awesome colour combo.
I did to do one of those Big easy. It looks so great!
Love the colour comnination and the quilting!
I should probably pay more attention to those Pinterest emails! This is beautiful. And I love it draped over that rocking chair.
Great to have a fast finish! This one is so pretty with these color combinations. I love patchwork square quilts. I've been meaning to make one with my Liberty of London stash.
Maybe I should bother with those Pinterest e-mails! Feels like a blind date to me: Oh, I know the perfect guy for YOU!
Still, this quilt is so pretty. Love a big easy quilt!
That's a fab combination - I'm recycling it back onto MY pinterest - I'll laugh if you get it again!!!!
I know just what you mean about hankering for some large-block/simple-block sewing. After fussing around with two circle blocks this month, I'm dying to just cut some stuff and sew!
This quilt is really charming and in such an interesting color combination--I love the photo outside, but that softer one on the rocking chair is also lovely. Great job!

With gorgeous fabrics like yours you don’t need a difficult pattern! Love it!
Simple, effective and uses up your stash of lovely colours = perfect!
