Modern? Traditional?
 

Carolyn has taken a traditional star block and turned it into what I would call a Modern quilt. She has used beautiful green and blue batiks on a very bright white background. I must say I was stumped on what to quilt on it so I laid it out for several days while I thought about it.

Beautiful quilt. Love how you quilted it. Both of you did a fantastic job. Thanks for sharing!!!

Very pretty quilt and your quilting is spot on. You both make a good team. BrendaK

Love the modern look with traditional blocks.

I really LIKE you background quilting. I am always love crosshatching on the background of quilts and this give a little more movement. I like how your placement of the lines!! How did you do this?? I have a table runner that I want to do this technique on and wasn't sure how to go about doing it. GREAT JOB !!

very pretty!!!!

I used masking tape ( about an inch wide) laid at an angle to give me a line to quilt along. Once the first line (serpentine stitch) is quilted I lay down a second piece of tape, SID over to the side of it and serpentine down the side, continuing in this way until I have completed 5 to 8, more or less, lines; SID to a new beginning or back stitch down the serpentine stitching until I reach a place to begin stitching in the opposite direction. I like to use the star blocks and the square blocks to run my SID stitching so I can hide the stitches; however, there are some places where I needed to back stitch on the SID stitches to get where I wanted to be. When this happens I use the one stitch button on my Gammill to make sure I stitch exactly on top of the previous stitch.

Great quilt. The colors and the quilting are just perfect for this design.

It's beautiful the way you've done it!
