SECOND PIECE AND PLENTY QUILT TOP DONE

Whew!  The second "Piece and Plenty" quilt top is done.  At least my part of it is.  The border will be added after it reaches its destination as I don't have it here.  I selected three basket blocks to replace in the pattern. Similar to what I did with the first quilt top.  Here is the newest one.
Here is the first one.
The lighting was different for the two photos so a slightly different look that way.  It is all the same fabric line.  Moda Madeira designed by Blackbird Designs.  The first quilt top was from a kit.  The second was done from left over kit pieces plus a bundle of the fabric and a few pieces I already had in my stash.  So the background used for some of the blocks is not the same as what was in the kit.  I ended up moving  a couple blocks into different positions so that there would be variety of background.  I have said before that this was a Moda University Block of the Month pattern set but have repeated so that a new reader does not have to go searching for the information.

My crystal ball says there may be a third one of these coming in my future.  Just not any time soon.

Amazing - each alone - but two!?! ...and then maybe a third leaves me speechless.

Karen, they look great! I love how you switched it up a bit with the second one. I admire your dedication in doing two of the same quilt.

Congratulations on such beautiful work. I like how they are essentially the same but on closer inspection, just a little bit different.
