Placid Curves

This quilt is called Placid Curves from the book Modern Neutrals by Amy Ellis. It was made by me and my family for a cousin who is getting married. 

We had so much fun choosing the right fabrics and colors and hues of teals and grays. We worked as a team cutting strips, sewing, pressing and laying out the final design. We did it from start to finished top in a day! There was at one time up to 5 of us working on it, so that really helped it go together fast.

I quilted it with giant swirls.

I used a light gray thread for the top.

And a variegated teal for the bobbin. A fun choice for a solid colored backing.

I went back and filled in several of the tricky empty spots with little hearts. Because, you know, it's a wedding gift after all. 

Congrats to Joe and Lindsey! The last cousin in our family to be wed, we are going to need to find new excuses to get together and make quilts! Soo, the great grandkids are starting to graduate from high school now...
