This customer made this quilt for a grandson's graduation. Don't you just love it when people are so organized? Graduation for next spring!
Ack! I should have shut my blinds, you can see the light shining through the back!
Since this is for a young man, I decided to go with an over all back and forth pattern--a different way in alternating blocks. I don't know about you, but I have a hard time figuring out "masculine" quilting patterns.
When I began, I chose one random repeating fabric block and put large pebbles in just for fun.
I divided up the border into triangles and quilted the same back and forth pattern.
Back.
Nothing frilly about this!
I think he will like it!
What an awesome quilt and I just love all the quilting you have done.

ReplyDeleteVery clever and interesting to add that bit of direction change, division, and some circular contrast. It all combines to a wonderful texture and looks terrific. I'll have to remember that dividing the border into triangles idea....
ReplyDeleteI like this...love that you threw in the pebbles.
