Trip Around the World Quilt


I finished up the quilt for Beatrix using a Trip Around the World pattern.  Here is the website I used for a tutorial, which was just great.  I did her variation using 9 fabrics. I used all flannel, and used the purple cupcake fabric for the back and binding.  It doesn't show well in the picture, but I quilted it by machine, following each fabric across the diagonal to make a diamond pattern.

The "Trip Around the World" comes together so quickly for the top.  I would do it again anytime.  My only suggestions would be to not pick directional fabric, or be prepared to seam rip and rotate a few squares!
