I love having modern quilts to quilt! I get to use fun, new, modern edge-to-edge designs. Check out the quilting here:
Here's a close-up of what I've nicknamed "Mod Watermelons":
The backing is an extra-wide back:

What a lovely, cheerful quilt! Your quilting design complements the piecing beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI love how the quilting complements the design so well. Fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to like about this? The quilt top is so bright and fun, the backing fabric is spot on, and I love the quilting design you used! That Quilter Bonnie is one talented lady!
ReplyDeleteIt is very cool indeed and the watermelons make it sweet and yummy :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright wonderful quilt! I love the design. The quilting reminds me of the splitting of a cell ( 9th grade biology). And it so goes with the design.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty with all the color! And I love the modern quilting design you choose!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt. Love the modern quilted curves with all the straight lines in the piecing, excellent choice.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, the quilting is really lovely on that quilt!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, colorful looking quilt! Love it, and yes I can see the watermelons! Is your machine computerized or do you use pantographs for this? It looks absolutely perfect.

ReplyDeleteI read Lickety Split! Not til I read you whole post, did I realize the pattern is Linkety Split! Too funny!!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a wonderful quilt, made more so by your quilting. I love that pattern on this quilt!
ReplyDeleteLOVE mod watermelons! The quilt is gorgeous too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is lovely. I'm sure it was difficult to come up with a color that would work well with so many bright colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks for you comment, Andrea! My typical method of choosing the color of thread is to look and the quilt and observe what color I see the most of, and use that color. In this case, with the border being turquoise, I knew just what to go to. I also happen to know the binding is going to be turquoise.
DeleteYour quilt is amazing the quilting fabulous! Thanks for sharing on Moving it Forward.
ReplyDeleteI love lots of color and that looks like a sweet pattern.
ReplyDeleteWow! The quilting looks awesome on this!
