Stacked Coins- Emergency EKG

Norene made this Stacked Coins quilt and wanted it custom quilted.

The strips had an emergency/first responders theme to it. One of the fabrics had an EKG line on it, so I decided to try to recreate that in the border.

I did some measuring, some drawing with a ruler, cutting, taping, re-cutting, re-drawing and fussing about, but I eventually came up with the right size and angled shape template using some poster board.

I quilted the backgrounds different above with circles, and below with swirls.

In the strip sets, I kept the quilting simple with meandering, and I used my curved ruler in the lighter areas.

I changed to a red thread to do some circles in the narrow red sashings.

.....beep.....

.....beep.....

Ta daa! I love how this one turned out. 

Thanks Norene!
