My new Two Color Quilt and Pattern

My new two color quilt is finally on my mother-in-law’s bed.
I wanted it to be warm and lightweight so I chose to use a polyester batting.

The polyester batting doesn’t highlight the quilting the same way as a cotton batting – we can’t have all the advantages in a piece of batting!

Do you remember how it started? There are 121 blocks and 11 different patterns.

I pieced the blocks and assembled the top quickly and without difficulties. You couldn’t believe how easy it is to keep everything in order.

I quilted it block by block. I used Aurifil 50wt and the fabulous Jeans Needle.

The quilting motif is the same for all the blocks but its size varies with the size of the green patches. This produces a beautiful texture.

The feathers meet on the diagonal line for all the blocks, everything runs in the same direction- a beautiful effect – see those darker lines across the quilt.

A multicolor quilt would look beautiful too!

  1. Woot woot, yay! I pinned your quilt top version of this quilt on a board called Fresh Modern Quilting and a lot of people loved it. So glad you have a pattern out for it 😀 It came out really lovely!

  2. Geta, you always do such beautiful work that I almost feel intimidated. I am amazed at how you can take a "simple" idea and turn it into a real masterpiece. Someday . . . maybe.
