This quilt is actually for the cousin of "Modern Tennis Shoes", which was featured in my previous blog post. This one was almost as challenging but not quite. Obviously, this young man is somewhat more subdued. I love the colors of this quilt. It was also done in flannel.
There are two designs on this quilt: one on the brown and one in the colored blocks, with hopes that the diamond pattern of the quilt would be seen better.
Throughout the brown I did modern rectangular/square quilting using a brown 50 weight Aurifil thread.
The colored blocks were all different but the concept was the same: swirls and fire with an Aurifil 50 weight soft yellow for the colored blocks.
This is a view of the quilting in the colored and brown blocks together.
And of course, the back, which was also flannel. Just like Modern Tennis Shoes, you can see the quilting much better on the back.
I think Diamonds turned out very cool and enjoyed the quilting process.

ReplyDeleteYou have been quilting up a storm! I love the combination of the boxy and more curvy quilting.
ReplyDeleteOh it does just look so wonderfully snuggly and warm - and I love the diamonds even if they are an optical illusion!
