Rita made this lovely Double Irish Chain quilt and wanted some custom quilting on it.
Inspired by the circles in the fabric print, I quilted a lot of circles and double bubbles.
It took some extensive internet researching to come up with a design in the light areas, but ended up finding this design via Pinterest. I'd post the link, but it no longer works. The first few blocks I used my water soluble marker quite a bit on.
Once I got the hang of it, the markings just become center points.
Those partial blocks are tricky, but I think this design was easy enough to alter with the missing points than most of the others I'd seen.
I really wanted to use some of my blue threads, or even a turquoise variegated spool I have, but ended up just using a gray on the blue areas and a light silver gray on the lighter areas.
The back.
Thanks Rita!
