All About Orange (new picture added September 3)

[Homerof2]

I started collecting material for this quilt about a year ago and was able to collect most of it by doing swaps here on Craftster, although, in the end, I had to buy a couple of pieces.  I can't remember exactly where it all came from but I know for sure that some is from South Africa, the UK, Sweden, the US and Canada.  The pattern came from a magazine called Fun Quilts and it's the Uneven Nine Patch.

It is for my 18 year old son, whose favorite color is, you guessed it, ORANGE!


I present my All About Orange quilt:

That is just stunning!!  I love the block you chose to do for this!  I love it - I call it organized chaos..

Your son is a lucky man!

Homer, that's gorgeous.  I too love orange, but it gets ignored by most people.  Your son is very lucky.

Wow, that's awesome Homerof2!  I love the way all the fabric work together.  LOVELY!!

Wow you did a really good job!

[Buns]

That's just beautiful, I love the pattern which seems untidy and organized at the same time!  And an excellent choice of orange fabrics!

So nice to see the final product!  Good job.

This definitely rocks!  I hope I can get to your level of quilting after some practice this summer!  I love the colors, it makes me think of summer

That's fantastic.  I've seen squares like that but never a finished quilt.  It's too cool!
