This is what’s off my design wall today. This version is “Jewels in the Night”. I’m going to call the pattern Diamond Rails. The first version can be seen HERE.
The quilt measures 62″ X 77″ after washing. The top fabrics are all batiks from Connecting Threads.
The backing is a wide batik I purchased last weekend.
The batting is Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 in black and I used Fil-Tec T-40 Cotton Poly Corespun Black thread on the top and Superior SuperBob in black on the bottom — just over 1 M-Style bobbin.
The quilting pattern is the pantograph “Popcorn”.
While I was at it I made a pillowcase.
Check out what other’s have worked on this first week of 2015 over at Patchwork Times.
The backing complements the “jewels” nicely. What a great design! I’m on the lookout for graphically-striking patterns as I attempt to bust my 30’s stash in 2015. This is one to add to the folder.
Great design! The backing is perfect for your quilt. Beautiful.
Perfect combination of front and back 🙂
