Interesting Info: Dorothy finished sewing this top in March and is finally reaching the finish line! She says she will be keeping this one for herself! 
Dorothy chose "Sashiko" for the quilting, which adds diagonal curves and movement to the squares and rectangles of this architectural pattern. ⤴️ ⤵️
Modern backing fabric, too!!! ⤵️
This is an awesome pattern for featuring fun prints, like these Scandinavian style fabrics Dorothy used!!! ⤵️
Great job, Dorothy!!! It is just beautiful!!! Enjoy your quilt!

  3. That Sashiko design is a beauty. I've seen it on several quilts recently and it always catches my eye -- can look very modern or very traditional, depending on the quilt. Excellent choice for this quilt. Question: have you ever tried doing a pattern like this just inside the main part of the quilt and quilting the borders differently?

  7. Very pretty! This pattern seems to be "big print friendly". Your quilting makes it look ready to snuggle in!

  12. Wow! Another fabulous quilt! Great quilting design choice. Thanks for giving all the pertinent details. I’ve recently told myself I’m not going to buy more quilting designs for a while. I may change my mind way too fast. Nice quilt by both of you!
