Here I have laid out all the blocks for a future quilt. The design is inspired by the banner and promotional material for restaurant Bellota in Auckland, New Zealand. In December last year I'd seen an advertisement for the restaurant in a local magazine and thought, wow, that would make a really good quilt design. As I thought about it, I realised I had all those colours of plain fabric in my stash and set about planning the quilt. Each block is 10 inches by 5 inches (finished) so with 14 blocks across and 7 down this will produce a quilt which is 70 inches square. For the quilting design I'm thinking randomly-placed concentric circles, to offset the severity of the oblong blocks. Last weekend at the op shop I bought a vintage bedsheet in greens and yellows which might just fit for the backing.
