Scrappy Diagonals
 

Size: 60 X 72
Pattern: Dunno... but it was in a magazine
Fabric: scraps
I have a stack of tops that need to be quilted and I'm trying to finish them. This top was completed a couple years ago. I had just finished a quilt with a scrappy grey background and had a lot of 4.5" grey squares left over. I saw this pattern in a magazine and it was a perfect fit for my scraps.
I quilted the all the 4 patches & pinwheels then was stumped as to what to do in the background. I decided to quilt each background section with a different free motion pattern. Got out all my books, checked you tube & pinterest. Some designs were more successful than others, but all in all it was pretty fun. I originally was going to put it in our Christmas family gift exchange, but now I think I will keep it. i don't quilt for the public, but do for friends and family and this will be a good way to select designs.
I've included a closeup of the front showing the textures and the back showing some of the quilting... I thought I got all those jump stitches!!!!

Nice quilting. I’d keep it too.

what a nice quilt, love the pattern

Beautiful quilt! And good job on the quilting, I am trying to practice doing the Lori Kennedy FMQ tutorial/class online but kind of fizzling out now.......

The quilt and quilting look wonderful! I like that the quilting shows up so nicely on the back.

I love everything about that quilt. Do think if you concentrate real hard, you might recall the name of the magazine? Many of them have old issues available.

I only wish you could see my smile this quilt in its simplicity in so touching to look at. The quilting is out of this world and a great job. I would call it a keeper too. It is amazing sometimes how few of our quilts we keep for ourselves. Treat yourself to this one it is well worth it. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely quilt and fantastic quilting.

looks successful to me. great job.
