Polar Vortex

Becki made this awesome brightly colored quilt called Polar Vortex. It was made from a kit.

I used a brightly colored variegated thread called 'Rio de Janeiro' on it. It has all the colors-orange, turquoise, pink, green, purple- so it was perfect for this quilt. 

I changed to a navy thread for the narrow border of circles. 

It is difficult to see the quilting, but I did a lot of flowery and feathery, leafy and swirly designs. 

I guess the name 'Polar Vortex' didn't have much affect on me! lol. 

I guess I was more into the Rio de Janeiro vibe.

Becki used up a lot of leftover scraps and bits to make the borders with.

I did a bit of ruler work on the triangles and free-motioned a lot of it too with swirls and some c2c.

She even had enough scraps to piece a strip for the back. 

Thanks Becki! Loved quilting this one.
