    Reminds me of a Tokyo subway quilt I saw once on Oh Franson! I think.
    The beauty of this board is to make us know more about quilting. Thank you Linda, I now know about Tokyo subway quilt. WOW this is too cool.

    Wow, that's totally amazing!! You are a very talented lady. I think puttin in any type of stitches will alter the look you are trying to capture. I honestly don't think migrating will be an issue since it's only going to hang. If you ever do wash it, I'd opt for putting a few basting stitches in the large areas to hold it and then I'd soak it to wash and rinse, roll it in a big towel and gently squeeze out excess water. Then, take out the basting stitches and dry it flat like a sweater. If you feel compelled to stitch, I'd take a few stitches from the back and only catch the batting and backing together. Good luck, it's a work of art!!

    I love Mondrian. Always have. There is such a symmetry and a cleanliness to his work that I love.

    I would definitely go with straight-line quilting in the large white areas. Some horizontal and some vertical. I'm a lover of Mondrian too, and even painted a white linoleum floor into a Mondrian area rug. And definitely you should go to the museum.

    If it is not to be washed, no extra quilting needed. It is awesome!!

    Definitely straight lines. There's some Modern Quiltin book out now that has great examples. I've left it at my DD's so I don't know the exact name. Anyway, their quilts are very simple straight line quilting and it goes perfectly.

    I love what you've done. It reminds me of the one that is the Japanese subway system (I think).
