Midnight Sun #2

barb1

This is Barb’s second Midnight Sun quilt that her mom Marg pieced for her.   Actually is it made with the other half of the strip sets that she used to make the first quilt I posted here.   With this pattern you end up with two quilts that look completely different.  Here is the side by side comparison…they are made using the same strips sets just cut at the opposite angles.  Wow eh!

Barb’s son asked for this quilt and now has to decided which one he wants.  I hear he is leaning towards this new one as he loves bold bright colors.

The pattern is from the Nov/Dec issues of Love of Quilting magazine.

The backing is a bright red flannel and I used Quilters Dream Blend batting.  The thread is a very bright Yellow So Fine as Barb wanted the quilting to show in the outer border.   The panto is Fascination.
