Modern Wedge DONE!


This quilt has been a long time coming, but it is finally done.  I started it at a workshop over two years ago with Kathy Doughty from Material Obsession. It has been a pondering quilt.  I have worked on it off and on, with lots of thinking time in between sewing to figure out what to do next.

The background is quilted with an asymmetric grid, as suggested by Jacqui Gering at the walking foot quilting class I took in the spring.



The curves are quilted with curvy organic quilting--the narrow one is quilted with turquoise thread.

I used red thread on the wider one.


I matched the binding to the background fabric and the adjacent wedges. 


While I was taking pictures in my yard this morning, I noticed this decorative grass seed head...

It goes with the curves of my quilt!

    Wow, well done! The binding detail really looks good, and you did a great job on the quilting. The grid looks great, was it easy to do? I think you may have sold me some of that green Kaffe, too!

    Gotta love this clear sunshine we're having. It sure makes the quilts pop!

    Fantastic finish! And I love the way you matched up the binding so that the wedges appear to cross the edge - congratulations!

    I feel like I'm looking at a Candyland game board. This is very pretty and quite unusual.

    I hope you put it in a place where you can see it all the time. It would be a shame to hide it away in a bedroom or on a closet shelf.
