Isn’t this wall hanging awesome?! Janann designed a fabulous red and white quilt, and I was honored to quilt it for her.

To keep with the quilt’s red and white theme, red So Fine 50 thread was used for the red fabric and white Bottom Line thread was used in the white fabric.

I used a new product, Grid Marker from June Tailor, to mark a diagonal grid behind the dahlia for the CC quilting in the background. After quilting, the washable marker was removed.

The back view shows the quilting detail and the red bobbin thread looks good, too! The outside checkerboard is CC using a ruler and the background orange peel CC is freehand. The flower detail and narrow border is quilting “freestyle”, too!

Thanks for looking! 🙂 Linda

This is a big one, much bigger than my hanging space for pictures!

I was very honored that Diane wanted me to quilt this for her. She spent 2 1/2 years assembling this quilt with lots and lots of “Y” seams! She wanted the quilting to accent the blocks and stabilize the “Y”seams. I suggested a continuous curve throughout the blocks and some ghosted blocks on the edges for interest.

I love this quilt! It was hard to decide what pictures to post, I took so many.

The thread matched the background fabric perfectly and the small meander frames the tumbling blocks.

As awesome as the front is, the back shows a great secondary pattern, not visible from the front.

The continuous curves mimics another block called Cathedral Windows, which Diane considered making instead of the tumbling block.

The optical illusions are awesome with this quilt.

Thanks for looking! 🙂 Linda
