Teresa bought this kit at the AQS show a couple months ago and had it together in record time! She sent me a few quilting ideas, but still left it up to me as to how to quilt it. She liked a geometric/flower design, and how someone else's version quilted the negative space like it was a block. A "ghost" block if you will.
Hmm. OK. I did a little more Internet image searching for ideas and came up with a bunch. But I narrowed it down to 2 that I thought I could handle and loaded her up!
I just love how it turned out!
(so I took lots of pictures!)
There's no real rhyme or reason as to what design went where. (or IS there?? ha ha) But I did more of the flower design since I was pretty confident she would like that design for sure.
The angled edges were kinda tricky, but not too bad. I pinned them down, then basted the edge with my longest stitch- keeping it within a quarter inch from the edge. That should help keep things together with attaching the binding too.
I used a silver colored Aurifil thread throughout the quilt.
I really enjoyed quilting this one Teresa!

I have a quilt the same as this pattern waiting to be quilted for a client! Hers has a white bkgd tho. I had no idea how to quilt it! Did you do this all freehand? You did a great job!
