I have had this quilt on my list of Finish-Along goals since last year. It started out as what you see, plus a lot of surrounding fabric -- lots of negative space. I just could not get up the nerve to quilt it. I like quilts with negative space, but I think they look best when enhanced by some great quilting. I am not there yet. So I finally decided to just remove all that negative space. It is now a baby quilt.
I still don't love it. My amateur quilting shows up too much on the solid fabrics. I struggled to decide what thread color to quilt with -- finally decided on a medium gray. Not sure it was the best choice.
But it is finished now! I guess that's a good thing. This is made from a pack of solids in a color way called "Pacific". The pattern is in the book Modern Quilts from the Blogging Universe.
I am linking up to the 2016 Q2 Finish-Along at A Quilter's Table.
Very nice! Finished is better than perfect, right? And we're all on a journey, improving as we go! ;-) I’m visiting on behalf of the FAL hosting team – thanks so much for joining us!
