She requested "leafy, swirly quilting". I quilted it with "Falling Leaves", which has many different leaf types, with swirls between:

"Falling Leaves" has an amazing 85" repeat, with 4 shift positions (longarm quilters know what that means--even more randomness), which makes it look freehand.

The backing is flannel, also. You can see more of the variety of leaves here:

This quilting design, "Falling Leaves" is by Sophie Collier, who is a member of our Minnesota machine quilters guild, Upper Midwest Machine Quilters.

Kim, great quilt! May it be loved and cherished and used for years to come.
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

Very nice! I have no idea what shift position means, but it looks great and random!
ReplyDeleteThe perfect quilting for Connecticut, what a warm snuggly quilt it will be.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves make a lovely quilting pattern. Perfect for the flannel.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this finish. Love the matching of the quilting pattern to the user's request and the cuddly flannel.
