Brick Path Quilt

I love Amy Butler fabrics and the free patterns you can access on the web.  My latest quilt was loosely based on Amy's Lotus Brick Path quilt design:  http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/pdfs/LotusQuilt.pdf

I picked out my eleven fabrics at JoAnn Etc.  I can't pass up a coupon, especially when you need to purchase so much.  But I've learned to watch the quality there.  Some of what I've purchased in the past has been very thin and poor quality.  But for this quilt I was able to find a nice variety of prints in the color families I desired.

 
 

I used the Amy Butler pattern for the material list and cutting instructions, but I didn't use the layering technique and pom poms the original design called for.  I used one of my fabrics for the quilt back and bias tape, finishing it with traditional binding.

Now the finished quilt is hanging on a rack in my family room.  The colors are complimentary to the room.  My husband said it's his favorite of the quilts I've made so far.
