The pattern is called Peak designed by Modern Handcraft, and for the fabric I used an ombre bundle from Craftsy that uses blues, greens, and yellows. While I love blues and greens together, the yellow is what really adds sparkle to this quilt.
I knew what I wanted to do with this quilt as soon as I loaded it on the frame, and I pretty much stuck to my plan. I knew that I wanted to use a variety of linear designs in the rectangular strips, and I threw almost everything I knew on there. When it comes to quilting designs, I always believe more is more. But I also quilted a lot of strips with just straight lines to give the eye a place to rest.
In the white triangles, I tied everything together with the same design: a tight swirl. These are my favorite swirls right now to do, as not only are they elegant looking, but they're very quick to do.
Even though it's no longer summer, this quilt is like a slice of summer to me!

This is absolutely gorgeous! You are definitely right about the yellow -- it is a beautiful pop of color amongst the rest of the fabrics! :D
ReplyDeleteHi Liz! You never fail to disappoint. Those ombre fabrics just make that quilt glow! Your quilting is always just right and gorgeous. I wonder, do you usually know right away how you're going to quilt something? I envy those who just "know".
ReplyDeleteThe pops of yellow really do add a nice sparkle to the quilt. The quilting in the white triangles is a lovely unifying element. What a great finish!
