I finally had a weekend that did not involve a hospital or a hotel…just home. Yay! I got started quilting a top for a fellow guild member, Sana. Sana and I both have full-time jobs in criminal justice, and are both longarm quilters. I feel very honored that she asked me to complete this quilt for her. Sana, I hope you like what I’m doing to your top! 🙂 I am enjoying working on it!
I auditioned a few stencils for the strip pieced blocks, but then I realized that the most effective quilting for those areas would actually be some type of straight line quilting. I think the crosshatching is working well, and does not get “lost” in there like a stencil motif would have. And, it doesn’t complete with the star blocks.
I think I spend as much time upside down checking out the back, as I do looking at the top!
I hope everyone is having a great week! Thanks for stopping by!

Very nice! Crosshatching is such a nice contrast to more complicated patterns whether it be quilting, piecing or fabric design. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Beautiful, Randi! I really like offsetting straight line work vs the curvy stencil.
