Gray Matter Version 2 - Without Gray



I decided I needed to make a second version of my gray matter quilt pattern.  I wanted to show how the pattern would look using different fabrics from the one I chose and it was a good opportunity to test out my own pattern and double check that everything was right. 


The biggest difference between this version and the original is that I used orange instead of medium greys for the large triangles.  I wanted this one to really pop and these fabrics really did the trick. 

The oranges are brighter than this photo unfortunately I am limited in my photo taking due to weather...
The top is completed and I hope to start quilting it sometime this week.  I am thinking multiple straight lines running through the white sections but am open to suggestions if anyone has any!

    Such a striking quilt! Your straight line idea sounds really clean and modern. But I'd be tempted to fill those lovely orange spaces with something loopy for a touch of fun contrast.

    Wow, it looks so different from the first version. Beautiful and brave use of colour.

    LOVE the orange. I'm so happy to see orange popping up all over the place. A much underused color for sure! :)
