Been a little bit busy around here lately. I had a number of quilts that needed to be done before I head off to Charleston for a visit with my daughter. Rita brought me this quilt. I used Hobbs 80/20 and SoFine threads. I wanted to do something different in the second border so I came up with a jigsaw puzzle pattern. The quilt is primarily made of batiks and I wanted to try to mix up some dense and less dense quilting.
In the large half square triangles we talked about some curved crosshatching. Even though I like that look a lot, I wanted to do something a little unique. I put in a couple of curved lines and then finished off with feathers and straight lines.
In the open spaces I created boxes that each had a design of their own.
There was a lot of ruler work on this quilt and I always seem to underestimate how long it will take me, but I was happy with the final outcome. Sorry the pictures aren't better. I am still a work in process when it comes to taking pictures.
