Cheryl's fabulous quilt!
This is the largest quilt I have done on my longarm and I don't think I could fit anything bigger, it is King size.
We originally discussed doing straight lines or a design with random squares but since it already had a very linear design I usually prefer to soften the lines with swirls. Also the backing is flannelette and i didn't want to see 'waves' between each line (caused by flannelette stretching) if I quilted rows of straight lines.
So we went with a simple swirl design.
Cheryl added two pieced rows to the backing that run from the top to bottom. Very cool design element.
I love looking at black and white quilts. At first I think they are photos taken in black and white and then when the quilt is put next to something with color they look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI just love black and white prints! This quilt is so different color wise, but so pretty, very striking! The panto goes so well with it. C
ReplyDeleteLove, LOVE the swirls!!! Looks so pretty and adds a ton of movement. I think it was a fabulous choice to combine the swirls with all the straight lines!!
ReplyDeleteoh, cool!
ReplyDeleteI too like to put something with curves on a quilt with so many straight lines.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!
