Yeah!!
Another finish thanks to my extremely talented friend and long-arm quilter Krista.
This quilt really needed a quilting professional to work with all that negative space.
The opposing triangles Krista quilted in from the edges was such an amazing surprise.
I love how they break up the organic free-motion quilting throughout the rest of the background.
Quilting the triangles themselves with like colored thread allowed them to keep their pop!
The triangles are mostly solid fabrics, Kona, some Carolina Chambray, and Kona dimensions.
The background is Osnaburg, which Krista said quilted beautifully.
It’s hard for me to resist print no matter how hard I try so I added a few almost solid prints.
With a little help from Martha Stewart, some advice from Jacquieย and an idea of fabric calculations from this site I accomplished my faux binding.
I dove in instead of creating a sample and would have been a bit happier with the faux binding a tad narrower, but I’m content with its effect.
Any finishes on your end this week and did you hear THE NEWS?

I heard the news too, but I’m coming to Sewing Summit in October, so couldn’t afford the cross-Atlantic trip twice so close together ๐ Maybe next time…
