I haven’t made my kids a quilt since they were babies. I saw a cute crochet idea, where someone made squares with the colors that represented their favorite albums. I thought why not do that as a quilt? Then I thought, why not paper piece and do more than just the colors? My daughter loves Taylor Swift, so I got to work figuring out how to make my own paper piecing patterns. I ended up using the Quilt Assistant software, which made it much easier! So the blocks ended up being album covers, and solids of the Eras colors.
Because of the sunlight behind the quilt, you can actually see a bit of the back (you can’t in normal light). Which was a stripe of blocks of eras colors on a dusty pink background. I bought probably 75% of the fabrics new, but some were from my stash including the newsprint for Reputation, which is probably my favorite!
The actual album covers for reference:
