Modern Grays


Vickie made this quilt for her daughter, who requested "modern"!


On the bars...


Sticking with the modern theme, I quilted it with Figure 8s. Denyse Schmidt, considered by some to be the mother of modern quilting, made Figure 8 quilting popular. Here's one of her quilts.


Vickie used quite a variety of grays--prints, mottled, batiks and Kaffe Fassets. 




The backing is an extra-wide gray swirl.


Love the alternate mix of nine-patches with curved pieced blocks! Great job, Vickie!!!

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
