| Mormor Quilt |
A Friday finish. This quilt features several collections by popular designer Lotta Jansdotter; but features more of Lotta's most recent collection Mormor and therefore I refer to it as my Mormor Quilt.
This project has been an experiment in mixing pattern (bold/large scale prints and daintier florals) as well as a color challenge. The color purple does not rate in my preferred color palette but now and again I like to push my boundaries.
For the back of the quilt I again have used a single fabric - Script Britton Nummer Fabric for IKEA by Emma Jones - because it was still sitting on my cutting table from my last quilt, and because I thought it would work nicely for this modern quilt. My leftover Ikea fabric has now been folded and stashed, and I promise the next quilt will have a different backing fabric.
I have quilted this quilt with straight edge to edge vertical lines just one inch apart which creates a lovely texture and complements the modern quilt style. I've used a quilting (bar) guide attached to the walking foot to space the lines evenly. No line marking required when using a quilting guide which is a great time saver.
The yellow/white stripe fabric is Straws in Yellow from the Simpatico collection by Michelle Engel Bencsko.
This quilt is for sale. It is listed in my Etsy Store.
You will find all the listing details here: Modern Patchwork Quilt.
Have a great weekend everyone!
