Blogger's Quilt Festival - Cool Curves
It's hard to pick just two quilts to enter for the Bloggers Quilt festival, but I knew that this was one that I really wanted to share. I call it Cool Curves. I made this as an Island Batik Ambassador challenge, so the fabrics are all Island Batik, and I used a big variety of colors and weights of Aurifil thread in it as well.
I love this photo because you can see the luscious quilting in it! Each color band is quilted in a different quilting design. This really stretched me to think of new ways to fill in the different sections.
I used the Quick Curve ruler for the piecing and fell in love with how easy it is!
The only thread I had any difficulty with was the 12 weight. That didn't work so well for free motion, so I used my walking foot and did echo quilting with it. I also used it for quilting the outer border. I found that the 28 wt thread is awesome - shows up nicely and stitches well. I think one of my favorite quilting patterns is the wishbone in the pale yellow - easy and moves quickly once you get the motion down!
