Grape Pansy Caper - Mystery Quilt No. 2

I did not want to make 

one very large mystery quilt

so I created two lap/couch quilts instead.

After finishing GPC-1, 

(see previous post)

I used the remaining segments

and, instead of making more blocks,

(boring)

I randomly pieced the strips

into three long columns.

And after following the rules 

while making GPC-1,

it felt SO good to break away and

create something completely unexpected

for this second quilt.

I cut 1.5" strips of Turquoise Grunge

and used them to frame the last of the pieced strips

for two vertical sashing units.

And I bought yardage 

of this incredible fabric for the back.

(Midnight C3898 by Chong-Ahwang

for Timeless Treasures)

Persian Glide thread was chosen for the quilting.

Horizontal liberated/organic wavy lines

were just right for my Grape Pansy Caper-Part Two.

I couldn't be any happier with the texture.

And the quilted back . . .  deep sigh!

I used more Turquoise Grunge to bind GPC-2.

48" wide x 60" long after quilting.

GPC-2 on display.

And guess who came to see Grandma at the quilt show?
