#2 - Broken bricks

Here is the second quilt I made for my nephew when he got married in 2009.  It is the "Broken Bricks" pattern from M'Liss Rae Hawley's book Fat Quarter Quilts.  I really like the colors.


This was my first experience with strip piecing and I enjoyed it very much.  I started this quilt late on a Wednesday evening and finished the binding on the way to the reception on the following Saturday afternoon.  I believe this still stands as my fastest finish.


This is the back.  I stabilized the quilt with SID between the rows and then did a loopy line. This was my first and last attempt at SID.  I do not like the way the back looks with the combination of both stitches. And, of course, SID is tedious to stitch.
