I’ve been on a roll and didn’t let this quilt remain unbound very long. It’s hard to see, but I did a flange binding. Not so much for the ‘pop of color’, but for the ease of stitching it down! This quilt was made for 2 purposes. #1 it is the first block in the 2014 Moda Modern Block quilt and I wanted to make sure I understood the cutting instructions (spoiler, I managed to botch it twice before I did flip and fold flying geese) and 2 I wanted to practice ruler and free motion quilting. As it turns out all of this is ruler work.
The circles were created with the HQ Swiss Cheese and Big HQ Swiss Cheese rulers. The piano keys and grid were created with the Piece N Quilt 4-N-1. The wavy concentric lines in the star points was created with the In Cahoots Wave 13 tool and the ‘diamond’ shapes in the setting triangles were made with Angel Walters “Dot”. I do not remember what I used to create the quilting in the center of the quilt.
I love the crinkle after washing. Looks like I could have used more quilting in the border — maybe beadboard? And it appears I forgot to stitch around the center square. Oh well.
