Add Grace Quilt Top - the Solid Version

I didn't manage to finish my second Add Grace top during the QAL, but I did finish it a few days after it ended. And then I didn't take pictures of it. It just sat and waited, looking at me reproachfully, while I avoided taking the pictures. I've finally broken through the photography block and taken some pictures, though, so I can finally share my all-solid Add Grace top.

All of the fabrics in this top are Andover Century Solids and I think the Raspberry (the top left plus block) is my favourite. I love designing quilts with lots of negative space so all of the blocks have breathing room.

This angular border around the center plus blocks might look complicated, but it's not. Parts of it are in two different sets of blocks and then they come together to create the border. I wasn't sure the Cottonball border would have enough contrast with the Oyster background, but it actually works really well.

I love Friendship Star blocks! You'll also find them in my Friendship Galaxy and Reach for the Stars  patterns, both of which are perfect for making scrappy Friendship Stars. It was fun to make them spin in different directions for this quilt.

The flying geese borders are fun, too, and come together pretty quickly.

Because of other projects with looming deadlines, both of my Add Grace tops are going into the To Be Quilted pile for now, but hopefully not for long. When I have the time, which one should I finish first and use for the cover quilt on the pattern? On the left is the Century Solid version and on the right is my first one, which uses Spectrastic and Pietra fabrics, also from Andover. It's kind of fun to see them side by side like this!
