I am delighted to enter a second quilt in the Fall 2017 Blogger's Quilt Festival, hosted by Amy at Amy'sCreativeSide.com. This quilt, like the other, all done in Kona cotton solids, is a mini quilt, and was entered into the QuiltExpo mini modern challenge. Just 20 inches square, I wanted to create a piece where the little bits of colors would stand out and shimmer. I quilted the piece with Aurifil black thread with a pebble design.
The batik backing (from my neverending stash) shows off the quilting design |
In the process of quilting. I quilt on a Tiara II midarm. |
If you are visiting this blog for the first time, welcome! For years, quilting was my way to relax after work. I am recently retired, and finding the time to really enjoy the process! Please check out my other quilts and projects. Links should be in the side bar.
Thank you, Amy, for hosting this fun Festival!
Take care,
Gretchen
I really like this quilt! I'm always drawn to things made with black, and this is a beauty.

DeleteI really like this mini, the bright colors stand out so well against the black background.

DeleteVery nice, Gretchen! there's something about colors against black that makes a striking statement. The quilting is wonderful too.
