The pictures tell most of the story. The building in these shots is a beautiful new facility that was opened in our town last year. It is called the qplex. From the very first time I saw the stripes I was completely enamoured and knew I would have to make a quilt!
This is just a little mini quilt. And I actually have had it done for a while. I made it for my son's 7th birthday which was more than a month ago.

For the design, you can see I was 100% inspired by the building. Love the colour and the modern look!
Since this quilt is just a wee thing, we had some fun throwing it around to take a few pics.
This photo is kind of cool.
But for every half-decent photo, there are a ton of bloopers like the one here. That is the back of the quilt and there are Tess and Eli racing through the shot.
So that's that. It was fun and fast to make this quilt. It was an idea I had to get out of my head, but I really had no reason to make a quilt bigger than this.

What a great mini! You captured the building beautifully, Riel!
Great quilt!
That's really cool, Rial! All we have are old buildings.:(
Very cool! I love it when quilter's take their inspiration from what's around them...
I love it!
I saw the Qplex when I visited my son who lives there. I commented on the colors as they are my favorites. It's a pretty little wall hanging.
great quilt and fun photos!
I like the kids shot! Its like the attack of the giant quilt monster! where's Godzilla when you need him!
so glad this idea came out of your head into this wonderful litte quilt!!
It's wonderful Riel. I love it.
So much fun to watch your quilt blend in perfectly with the building. Love your kids running through the shot as well!
Hi Riel, I love the little quilt, and especially the photo of it in the air! What a fun time,
No Way! LOL Well if that ain't inspiration for a modern quilt, I don't know what is. NICE MATCH! ; )
