25 herringbone quilt.

It's finished!  How's this for a fun summer quilt?

The blocks were made by the members of the Inspire Circle of do.Good Stitches using my herringbone block tutorial.  They are all so vibrant!  There are definitely lots of different colors and prints going on in here, but I think it works.

I quilted horizontally along the seams to stabilize the quilt, then I went through three of the diagonal lines in each block.

 You can see the quilting a little better on the back.  I used this awesome chevron print as the focal point of the back, to kind of tie in with the herringbone pattern going on in the front.  I only had a half yard of it though so I had to make it scrappy.

 Here's another look at the quilting on the back.  I used gray thread so it wouldn't stick out as much on the back.  I haven't washed the quilt yet but it should shrink up nicely in the dryer!  There really aren't any puckers on here, even though it kind of looks like it in the pictures.

I thought it was only fitting to bind it in this aqua herringbone print from Modern Meadow!  I love the way it looks against the colors in the quilt.

I kind of want to make another one of these quilts for myself!  Wouldn't it be great as a picnic blanket?

This one is all ready to be shipped off to Project Linus!  Thank you again to all the lovely ladies in the Inspire circle for your contributions to this quilt.  

If you make a herringbone quilt, please share it in the Bijou Lovely flickr group, I would love to see it!
