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
