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!

Love both the quilt and the quilting. Your quilting knocks it out of the park.

I think you did a good job on "reading" how to quilt this one. It turned out very nice. I'll be glad when I can read one.

Very pretty quilt and quilting. The quilting has given me an idea for my log cabin.
